Arjuna amazed said:
“Thank you Oh Lord, O my wonderful gurudeva I bow down to you. Please explain to me now how the nature prakriti her consort God purusha and body the creative field, ksetra, and its evolvcr-knower soul ksetrajna, should be properly understood?”
Krishna answered:
“This body is ksetra, the field to reap the harvest of past karmas. This soul, my own pure reflection, the possessor of this field of ksetrajna. Knowing it in its entirety is pure wisdom. Sages have expounded it in so many ways. In hymns of vedas and Bramhasutras too it is explained. Same I am telling you now.
“Ksetra consists of subtlety of five elements, ego, intellect, & three gunas the modes of nature, five senses of perception, five organs of action and five classes of their objects, and mind. These 24 indriyas plus desire, hate, pleasure, pain, aggregation of this130 Ib. atom body, aliveness & upholding the actions of mind, prana, & senses towards meditation and selfless actions persistently: this is the field of ksetra.
“This ksetra has to be washed and purified and sterilized to shine brilliantly and thus match with ksetrajna and unite with Purusha. For this the following must be done… If you wish to be workaholic in this context it is okay, but only in this context and only until so much is cleaned that Purusha shines out all over. So here we go, Again, I can lay-out the model the replica, the ideal, work to get the shine, here’s the field:
“Amiability, emptied of hypocrisy, devoid of harmfulness, master of forgiveness & uprightness, servicer of wise men, observer of purity of body and mind, their steadiness and their staying disciplined; detachment from sense objects and consideration into problems of birth, death, old age & illness. No attachment to worldly, even celestial joys; no ego, no attachment to home & family, remaining equal in fascinating & disgusting, enjoying sitting in meditation, unswerving devotion, solitary retreats from worldly-minded people; Perseverance in wisdom of higher realization, aspiration for higher learning and as its essence visualizing me everywhere. This is the wisdom way! Contrary is ignorance that dirtifies everything.

“The consort of Prakriti is Bramha. It is neither truth nor non-truth. His hands and feet are everywhere. His eyes, his face, his ears are enveloping all directions, penetrating each nook & cranny, not missing anyone. Without senses he is the knower of what’s going on in mind & senses; Being beyond gunas, beyond senses, yet enjoyer of all sense pleasures as he is. He is inside of people as well as outside too, and as their very themselves too. He is indivisible, one, like vast sky, still appears as innumerable birds, people, plants & animals. He sustains as Lord Vishnu, destroys as Lord Shiva, and creates as Bramha.

“Light of all lights far far from darkness, knowable itself, known only through conscious experience, resides in the hearts of all.
“Prakriti & Purusha & ksetrajna are beginningless and their different formations and modifications have come from the gunas. In the creation of karya- the five elements and tanmatras, as well as in creation of karana, the five organs of action and five senses of perception, along with intellect, ego, & mind, Prakriti is the cause of all. In the experience of joy and sorrow purusha is the cause. Purusha involved with Prakriti experiences the Prakriti-born things. Attachment to gunas and their formations cause ksetrajna to rise & fall in high & low species. The Purusha even while living in the body is a detached onlooker, upadrasta, consenter, anumama, sustainer, bharta, the experiencer & enjoyer — bhokta, and being great commander- mahesvar, and being pure truth, consciousness & bliss intense in the Self it is known as paramatma. One who knows this secret wisdom will never suffer rebirth even while enjoying all, all life.
“To this great paramatma Some behold in the heart through purified intellect in deep meditation: this is dhyana-yoga. Others behold it through discriminative analysis. Others behold it through performing right actions and dedicating all to God. Others listen to wise men and practice thus they attain.
“All expansions of animate and inanimate world arise from Union of Nature & Soul. Their connection is illusory. He alone sees rightly who perceives the imperishable Lord amidst the perishing, changing, dying shows & scenes. By so seeing you do not destroy & injure and hurt yourself by yourself. When you see nature as the doer of all things being done always, and your Self as an indifferent spectator, then you see rightly and become a Seer, a beholder of Truth. When you see all separate beings and their actions and their feelings as existent in the one that has expanded Itself into the many, then you are the one who’s one with Bramha.
“Oh Arjuna, being beginningless and beyond modes of gunas, even while residing in this temporary body, he or she neither does anything, nor becomes affected. Just like sky is expanded far and wide, -all pervading, still it is subtle therefore beyond taint; it is never smeared up with plane-smoke, nuclear bomb waste, bad breath of alcoholics; the same way the Bramha as Self though seated everywhere in everyone’s body, remains ever taintless & pure, and beyond restraint. Just like all alone sun illumines the entire firmament, entire cosmos, same way, one alone - the soul illumines the whole body. Those who perceive the subtle distinction between body & soul, the atma, through the eye of wisdom, pure clean & keen, along with the method of freedom from gunas, they arc the wise ones and they attain the eternal felicity, the facticity pristine!”
