Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

The Lord says that "I am neutral." God is neutral. Samo 'haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu. Samatā means . . . this point we have discussed, sama, how God is neutral, sama. If He is sama—sama means neutral—then how we find different grades of people or different grades of species of life? That is samatā. Now, I will give you a crude example. Suppose I am a shopkeeper. I have got different varieties of goods. Now, if you pay me less, then I can supply you inferior quality of goods. Another customer is paying me and a good amount; then I will supply you superior quality of goods. Now, I supply to some customer inferior quality of goods—to another customer I supply superior quality of goods. Is there any partiality? No. That is not partiality.
