Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 13
INTRODUCTION
At the beginning of the twelfth chapter Arjuna asked Lord Krsna, "The devotees who, with their minds constantly fixed in You, adore You, as possessed of form and attributes, and those who adore only the Imperishable, the Unmanifest—which of these two are better'?" The Lord, responded, "I consider those the best, who endowed with supreme faith, having fixed their mind on Me, worship Me." Further, He explained, "Those who adore only the Imperishable, the Unmanifest also attain Me, but greater is their difficulty, because they are centred in the body." Then He described the former type of worship, in detail. Now He starts the thirteenth chapter in order to explain the latter kind of worship in detail and in order to remove the main obstacle in this worship in the form of the identification of the body, with the self. First the Lord starts the topic of discrimination between Ksetra (Body) and Ksetrajna (Soul) (Spirit).
