The one who truly sees

samaṃ sarveṣu bhūteṣu tiṣṭhantaṃ parameśvaramvinaśyatsvavinaśyantaṃ yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati

One who sees the supreme Lord dwelling equally in all beings, the undying within the dying, truly sees.

What it means

Krishna defines true seeing. Yah pashyati sa pashyati. The one who sees the supreme Lord dwelling equally in every being, the imperishable inside the perishable, that person truly sees. Everything else is only half-seeing.

The story

Arjuna sees perishing bodies about to fall. Krishna asks him to see the imperishable inside each one. That's the vision that changes everything, including how he fights.

In your life

Think of a hospice worker who sees each dying patient as whole and precious to the very end. That's true sight. Look at one person today, really look, and see what doesn't die.
