What is His Form? He is the light of all lights of senses, mind and intellect. He is the Illuminator of all knowledges. He is beyond darkness. He is knowledge, the object of knowledge and also worth attaining through knowledge. He is seated in the hearts of all.[1](l7) What else is to be known and what is the importance of that knowledge? Ksetra, knowledge and the knowable, all these three are to be known. The devotee, who knows the three properly, enters into My being viz., he realizes that he has identity with Me.(18) A devotee having known Ksetra, knowledge and the knowable (object of knowledge) realizes his identity with You. But the striver who wants to follow only the discipline of knowledge (Jnana), what knowledge is necessary for him? It is necessary to know the Matter (Prakrti) (Ksetra) and spirit (Purusa) (Ksetrajna) separately and correctly and the fact that both of them are without beginning. When both are without beginning, from where do modifications and qualities (Gunas) emanate? All modifications and qualities (Gunas) are born of Matter (Prakrti). Moreover Prakrti is said to be the root of all activities, means (Karana) and doership. |
