18. Distaste in the company of men. 19. Constant meditation on God's existence. 20. Observing God everywhere. All this is declared knowledge, because by this knowledge the body will be perceived as 'this', and different from the 'self and what is contrary to this is called ignorance, because with it one identifies the self with the body.(7—11) What is the essence which is acquired by the knowledge of Ksetra and Ksetrajna? That is the knowable (Supreme Soul) God. I shall describe that knowable by knowing which one attains immortality. What is the form of that knowable? That is without beginning and end and He is the Supreme Brahma. He can neither be called 'Sat' (being) nor 'Asat' (non-being).[1](12) How is he then? With hands and feet everywhere, with eyes, head and face everywhere; with ears everywhere. He stands pervading all. Though devoid of all senses, He illumines all sense-objects. He is unattached but is the sustainer of all. He is attributeless, but is the enjoyer of qualities (Gunas).(13-14) |

References and Context
- ↑ He can be called neither 'Sat' nor 'Mat', the reason is that without having the feeling of 'Asat', we can't use the word 'Sat' for the Supreme Soul. We also can't call him 'Asat', because the real (being) never ceases to be. So 'Sat' and 'Asat' do not apply to him. He is Pure Consciousness or Absolute Immortality.
