________________ THE YOGA OF DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE FIELD & THE KNOWER OF THE FIELD Jneyam yattat pravakshyaami yaijnaatwaa'mritamashnute; Anaadimatparam brahma na sattannaasaduchyate. 13. I will declare that which has to be known, knowing which one attains to immortality, the beginningless supreme Brahman, called neither being nor non-being. Sarvatah paanipaadam tat sarvato'kshishiromukham; Sarvatah shrutimalloke sarvamaavritya tishthati. 14. With hands and feet everywhere, with eyes, heads and mouths everywhere, with ears everywhere, He exists in the worlds, enveloping all. Sarvendriyagunaabhaasam sarvendriyavivarjitam; Asaktam sarvabhricchaiva nirgunam gunabhoktru cha. 15. Shining by the functions of all the senses, yet without the senses; unattached, yet supporting all; devoid of qualities, yet their experiencer, Bahirantashcha bhootaanaam acharam charameva cha; Sookshmatwaat tadavineyam doorastham chaantike cha tat. 16. Without and within (all) beings, the unmoving and also the moving; because of His subtlety, unknowable; and near and far away is That. Avibhaktam cha bhooteshu vibhaktamiva cha sthitam; Bhootabhartru cha tajjneyam grasishnu prabhavishnu cha. 17. And undivided, yet He exists as if divided in beings; He is to be known as the supporter of beings; He devours and He generates also. Jyotishaamapi tajjyotistamasah paramuchyate; Jnaanam jneyam jnaanagamyam hridi sarvasya vishthitam. 18. That, the Light of all lights, is beyond darkness; it is said to be knowledge, the Knowable and the goal of knowledge, seated in the hearts of all. Iti kshetram tathaa jnaanam jneyam choktam samaasatah; Madbhakta etadvijnaaya madbhaavaayopapadyate. 19. Thus the Field as well as knowledge and the Knowable have been briefly stated. My devotee, knowing this, enters into My Being. Prakritim purusham chaiva viddhyaanaadee ubhaavapi; Vikaaraamshcha gunaamshchaiva viddhi prakritisambhavaan. 102
