यदा पश्यः पश्यते रुक्मवर्णं कर्तारमीशं पुरुषं ब्रह्मयोनिम्। तदा विद्वान्पुण्यपापे विधूय निरञ्जनः परमं साम्यमुपैति॥

yadā paśyaḥ paśyate rukmavarṇaṃ kartāramīśaṃ puruṣaṃ brahmayonim | tadā vidvānpuṇyapāpe vidhūya nirañjanaḥ paramaṃ sāmyamupaiti ||

"When the seer sees the golden-colored creator, the Lord, the Purusha, the source of Brahman - then the wise one, shaking off good and evil, stainless, attains supreme equality."

What This Means:

When the seer beholds the golden Lord, source of all, the wise one transcends both good and evil karma, becomes pure, and attains perfect equality with Brahman.

Going Deeper:

"Supreme equality" (paramam samyam) is liberation - not merging and disappearing, but realizing equal nature with Brahman.

How To Apply This:

Beyond good and bad, see the golden source. Become equal to what you see.
