Chapter-13
The field and the knower of the field
30. When he perceives the diversity of beings as rooted in the One (Brahman), and as spreading from that One alone, then he becomes Brahman. O Arjuna, he who perceives that the beings of different forms are not distinct, knows that he has attained Brahman. Just as there are ripples in water, particles of dust in the earth, rays in the sun’s disc (1081-1085), or organs in the body, feelings in the mind and sparks in the fire, in the same way all beings have their origin in One and the same Self. When he is fully convinced about this, then one can say that the ship containing the wealth, in the form of the Supreme Brahman comes into his possession. Then wherever he casts his glance, he discovers that all that, is pervaded by Brahman; in fact, he enjoys Supreme bliss. In this way, one should be able to attain full experience of the relation between prakriti and purusha. This achievement of yours, is as important as the acquisition of sip of nectar or the sight of a treasure (1086-1090). But O spouse of Subhadra, please do not make up your mind yet, on the basis of the experience. For I am going to tell you a couple of My thoughts; so lend your ears to Me and try to understand these thoughts of Mine. Saying so, the Lord began his speech, which Arjuna heard with rapt attention. |
