The Field and Its Knower

Kṣetra Kṣetrajña Vibhāga Yoga — The Yoga of Distinguishing the Field from the Knower

35 verses·18 min read

Chapter Summary

The body is the field; the consciousness that knows it is the knower. Krishna teaches the difference between matter and spirit, lists the qualities of true knowledge — humility, non-violence, steadiness — and reveals the Supreme dwelling equally in all beings.
