************************
Chapter-13. ( Kshetra-kshetrajna-vibhaga-yogam)
***************************************
Slokam-19.  ( Material nature and the living entities should be understood to be beginningless. Their transformations and the modes of matter are products of material nature. )
*****************************************************************************************************************************

"Prakratim purusham caiva viddhiyanadi ubavapi,

Vikaramsca guna.scaiva viddhi prakratisambavan."

************************************
Prakrtim = Nature;
Purusham = Living entities;
Ubhau = Both;
Api = Also;
Eva = Certainly;
Viddhi = Must know;
Anadhi = Without beginning;
Vikaran = Transformation ( emotion );
Ca = Also;
Gunan = Three modes of nature ( Sattva, Rajas, Tamas );
Ca = Also;
Eva = Certainly;
Viddhi = Know;
Prakrti = Nature;
Sambhavan = Produced of.
*************************************

Discussion-1.

In the 8th chapter, Lord explained HiS "VIBHUTI-S" with the adjectives viz 1. "APARA-PRAKRATI"and 2. "Para-PRAKRATI" and the complete ( whole things ) are generated from these two totality.

Apara-prakrati is called as "Kshetram" otherwise known as 'Prakrati or Nature.'
And Para-prakrati is called as 'Kshetrajnan or Purushan.'
Prakrati and Purushan are the two bhavas ( states) of Paramatma, and just like Paramatma, they too has no beginning ( Infinite ).

From the Praktrati and Purushan 'Samyogam'( union ), this 'Samsaram'( Life ) born.
Samsaram is generated, sustained, and degenerated by Prakrati and Purushan.

The leela ( play ) is happening in "BRAHMAM"which is beyond everything.

The incident in the "Samashti" ( Social Structure ) is also happening in "Viyashti."

Lord says : Influenced by my vasanas I create a state of experience to my requirements; sustain it as far as I need; later when I don't need I discard it.

The vasanas in me are prakrati and I am Purushan.

Myself and my vasanas are the cause for my Samsaram.

"Likes and Dislikes, Joy and Sorrow, this way all emotions and three gunas such as Sattvam, Rajas, and Tamas are Prakrati Darmam-s."

To be continued...

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, March 21, 2021. 07:57. AM. Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p

================================================================================= Saturday 01, June 2024 06:40. Chapter 7: The Entry of the Absolute into the Relative -3. Post-33. ================================================================================= There are endless connections of this type. The relationship of adhyatma and adhibhuta is involved in an infinite variety of degrees of ascent and descent. This imperative of the presence of a consciousness between adhyatma and adhibhuta in various degrees is the reason why you sometimes feel there are many gods. Sometimes the question arises: Are there many gods, or only one God? There is only one God, the Absolute, but inasmuch as it manifests itself as an interconnecting link between subject and object through millions of degrees of ascent and descent, it looks as there are millions of gods. It is as if there are millions of governments merely because there are millions of officials in a centrality of administration. There is
