The ācārya, the spiritual master who teaches all the Vedic knowledge and gives initiation by offering the sacred thread, is the personification of all the Vedas. Similarly, a father personifies Lord Brahmā; a brother, King Indra; a mother, the planet earth; and a sister, mercy. A guest personifies religious principles, an invited guest personifies the demigod Agni, and all living entities personify Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

According to the moral instructions of Cāṇakya Paṇḍita, ātmavat sarva-bhūteṣu: one should observe all living entities to be on the same level as oneself. This means that no one should be neglected as inferior; because Paramātmā is seated in everyone’s body, everyone should be respected as a temple of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This verse describes the different ways in which one should respect a guru, a father, a brother, a sister, a guest and so on.

Translation
The ācārya is the personification of all the Vedas. Similarly, a father personifies Lord Brahmā; a brother personifies Indra; a mother personifies the planet earth; and a sister personifies mercy. An unexpected guest personifies religious principles, an invited guest personifies Agni, and all living entities personify Viṣṇu, the Supreme Lord. The ācārya, one who teaches the Vedas, personifies the Vedas (brahmaṇaḥ). The brother personified Indra (marut-pateḥ). The uninvited guest personified (ātmā) dharma. Then what to speak of us? All beings personify the Supreme Lord (ātmanaḥ).
