अर्जुन उवाच। प्रकृतिं पुरुषं चैव क्षेत्रं क्षेत्रज्ञमेव च। एतद्वेदितुमिच्छामि ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं च केशव॥
arjuna uvācha prakṛitiṁ puruṣhaṁ chaiva kṣhetraṁ kṣhetra-jñam eva cha etad veditum ichchhāmi jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ cha keśhava
Meaning
Arjuna said: O Keshava, I wish to know about Prakriti (Nature) and Purusha (the Soul), the field and the knower of the field, knowledge and the object of knowledge.
Arjuna asks fundamental questions about the relationship between matter and spirit, body and soul, wisdom and its goal. This chapter will reveal the deepest understanding of who we truly are beyond the body.
Strength Reflection
"I seek to understand the difference between my body (the field) and my true self (the knower)."
Devotional Surrender
O Lord, teach me the distinction between matter and spirit, so I may know my true nature.
