Verse 100cid-dharmā sarva-deheṣu viśeṣo nāsti kutracit ।
ataś ca tan-mayaṃ sarvaṃ bhāvayan bhava-jij-janaḥ ॥The One who has awareness as his fundamental attribute exists in all bodies, without any distinction anywhere (i.e., in this vs. that being). Thus, a person who contemplates everything as having that [same] nature overcomes [the false appearances of] mundane existence.
Planning note: This contemplation is best done seated comfortably in a park, or somewhere public where you can see other humans or animals.
Simplified Steps
•
Contemplate awareness as such
•
Consider that awareness as such is the same in all beings (though the scope of what they are aware of can be very different, awareness as such is the same)
•
Contemplate therefore that all beings have the same essential nature; that one awareness animates all beings.
