Chapter 13
Kshetra-kshetraaajnyavibhaga Yoga

In fact the Lord Himself is the Jiva's objective goal. But that is not the principal method, even though unity does not contradict the statement of Jiva being the reflection. The same has been mentioned in Madhucbhanda Smriti - “The reason for the wise to recommend the aspirant to be united with the Lord, is because Jiva is refection of the Lord”. Besides, in Agniveshya section meditation as aham ensures the fruits of attaining the form of Sri Vishnu. “The aspirant who meditates as अहं ब्रह्मन attains soon similarity with Brahman. Of this there is no doubt”. “I am subservient to You is what is meant by the statement - अहं ब्रह्मन. Thereafter, being subservient, I am like Yourself, thus do the servants consider, not in the sense being One like You”, thus in Vamana Puraana,. Because of his being reflection, such is the feeling of the servant. Similarly thus in Ayasya section - “Since I am the reflection of Your form, I am Your servant. And You are verily like me, thus one should meditate on that Supreme Person”. pratibimba - reflection means being like Him. Tatparya Nirnaya :- Those who perceive Purusha as and Prakriti as two distinct entities (will remain bound but those who) know their distinct attributes will be delivered in the present life itself and will never be born in this world again.
