Bhagavad Gita 5.18 — Equal vision of the wise

विद्याविनयसम्पन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि। शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिताः समदर्शिनः ॥

vidyāvinayasampanne brāhmaṇe gavi hastini | śuni caiva śvapāke ca paṇḍitāḥ samadarśinaḥ ||

Meaning

The wise look with an equal eye on a learned and humble brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and even a person whom society looks down upon.

In today's life

Don't judge anyone by status, birth or looks — practise seeing the same divine spark in every living being.
