Kshetra Kshetrajna Vibhaga Yoga

The Yoga of Distinction

Summary

Krishna distinguishes between the Field (the body/matter) and the Knower of the Field (the soul/consciousness).

Verse 2

इदं शरीरं कौन्तेय क्षेत्रमित्यभिधीयते । एतद्यो वेत्ति तं प्राहुः क्षेत्रज्ञ इति तद्विदः ॥

idaṃ śarīraṃ kaunteya kṣetram ity abhidhīyate | etad yo vetti taṃ prāhuḥ kṣetrajña iti tad-vidaḥ ||

O son of Kunti, this body is also called the field, and one who knows this body is called the knower of the field.
