समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः। ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्यहम्॥

samo 'haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu na me dveṣyo 'sti na priyaḥ, ye bhajanti tu māṁ bhaktyā mayi te teṣu cāpy aham

Meaning

A description of impartiality that doesn't rule out closeness. Fairness and genuine relationship aren't presented as opposites here. One is simply the ground that the other grows from.

Reflection

Fairness and closeness aren't opposites. One can be the ground the other grows from.
