Chapter-13
The field and the knower of the field
34. Those who know with the eye of wisdom, the difference between the Field and the knower of the Field thus, and also the (means of) release from the prakriti of elements, attain to the Supreme. O you Arjuna, who grasps the meanings of words, that intellect which realises the distinction between the Field and the knower of the Field, sees truly and grasps the meaning of worlds. In order to realise this distinction between the two, the spiritual aspirants wear away the thresholds of the men of wisdom (1126-1130). It is for this that learned men amass the wealth of tranquility and study the scriptures. Some undertake the yogic discipline and move heaven and earth with the hope of knowing him. Some hold in contempt their bodies and other possessions and render devout service at the feet of the saints (literally carry their wooden slippers on their heads). By employing such various ways, they become free from sorrow. And some attain to the discriminating knowledge between the Field and the knower of the Field, which I value more than My own knowledge (1131-1135) |
