  • Summary

  • In this chapter, Shree Krishna introduces two terms—kṣhetra (the field) and kṣhetrajña (knower of the field). In simple terms, the ‘field’ may be considered the body and the soul as the ‘knower of the field.’ However, the field is actually much more than just the physical body—it includes the mind, intellect, ego, and all other components of material energy that are part of our personality. In broader terms, except for the soul, who is the ‘knower of the field,’ all material aspects of our entire personality are considered—the ‘field’ of the body.

    Shri Bhagavad Gita Chapter 13 | श्री भगवद गीता अध्याय 13 | श्लोक 1
    Jan 27 2025

    This verse is from the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 13, Verse 1. The translation is:

    Śrī Bhagavān uvāca
    Idaṁ śarīraṁ kaunteya kṣetram ityabhidhīyate
    Etad yo vetti taṁ prāhuḥ kṣetrajña iti tad-vidaḥ

    "The Supreme Lord said: O Kaunteya (Arjuna), this body is called the field (Kṣetra), and one who knows this field is called the knower of the field (Kṣetrajña) by the wise."

    In this verse, Lord Krishna introduces the concept of Kṣetra (the body or field) and Kṣetrajña (the knower of the field, or the soul). The body is referred to as the field because it is the domain where experiences, actions, and changes occur. The soul or the self, which is conscious and aware of the body, is the knower of this field. By understanding this distinction, one can begin to explore the relationship between the physical body, the soul, and the Supreme.
