Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :

Chapter-13. ( Kshetra-kshetrajna-vibhaga-yogam )

Slokam-2. ( Lord  Sri Krishna  reply  to  Arjuna )


Sri-bhagavan uvaca

idam  sariram  kaunteya  kshetram  iti  abhidhiyate,


etat  yah  vetti  tam prahuh  kshetrajna  iti  tadvidah.


Sri-bhagavan uvaca  =  Lord  replied;

 kaunteya  idam  sariram  =  arjuna!  this  body;

kshetram  iti  abhidhiyate  =  (is)  called  as  Kshetram;

etat  yah  vetti  =  one  who  knows  this;

tam  kshetrajna  iti  =  he  is  Kshetragjan;

tadvidah. prahuh   =  so  say  the  known  person.


1.

"Atma-Sakshatkaram" :   is  an  'Aparokshanuputi'  ( inner  experience ).

It  is  not  a  practical ( external practice ),  but  is  inner  regulation  and  practice.

The  great  Bharatheeya  Rishi-s  declared  that  it  is  "Atmanusandhanam  itself  is  path  of  Atmanubhuti."

What  is  svarupam  of  Atma,  and  and  its encircling  Atma's  specifications  are  shown  in  this  chapter  scientifically.

Sadhakan from  Anatma-things,  by  separating  Atma-svarupam,  and  he  who  understands,  that  is  his  trua  Atma  itself,  in  this  stage  he  knows  that  Anatma-vastus  are  not  true.

2.

One  who  experiences  the 'Jagratha-avastha'  ( awaken ),  he  himself  experiences  in  his  mind's  a  special  reflection  of  bhavam  the  'Swapna-avastha' ( dream ).

When  he  wakes  up  only  he  understands  it  is  mind's  false  creation  only, i.e, dream.

Likewise,  our  true  svarupam,  'Paramatma-tattvam,'  when  get  into  it  this  'Diverse-Prapancham  disappears.

In  "Atma-Sakshatkatam"  there  is  no  place  for  'Anatma-vastus.'

3.

Thus  in  tattva-sastram's  drushti  ( view )  there  are  two  parts  for  man : 1. the  'JADA-VASTU-SANGHATHAM'  AND 2.  'CHAITHANYAM'.

In  this  slokam  these  things  are  dealt with.
