He who is of the same mind to the good-hearted, friends, enemies, the indifferent, the neutral, the hateful, the relatives, the righteous and the unrighteous, excels.

One who sees with an even mind the well-wisher, the friend and the foe, the indifferent and the neutral, the hateful and the kinsman, and even the good and the wicked, stands out above others.

Evenness now extends from objects to people. Krishna lists a wide range of relationships: well-wishers, friends, enemies, the indifferent, the neutral, the hateful, relatives, the virtuous and the wrongdoers. The one who regards all of them with an even mind is called the most excellent. This is not a call to ignore the moral difference between good and evil. It describes freedom from personal like and dislike in one's inner response. In the setting of a war between relatives, the verse has a pointed relevance for Arjuna.
