अध्याय-७ ज्ञानविज्ञानयोग
Chapter- 7 Gyanvigyan Yoga
The last verse of the foregoing chapter has clearly stated that of all yogis only that yogi is the best whose inner self becomes one with “Me". Here and elsewhere in Gita whenever reference is made to "Krishna” or to first person sisular - “I” or Me”- that reference is to be understood as one to Brahma. But what is the mea - ning of“ Brahma”. It means “Pure - Consciousness" (Warna FT) “Pure Consciousness is “Kaivalya” of the Jains and when individual soul called “Jiva" (Atman) attains Siddha-hood it is “Parmatma" the supreme soul. In this chapter the Lord now shows the nature and quality of the Supreme soul and devotion to it”.
In the last chapter Lord ended by saying that the Yogi who becomes one with “Me” is the best of all the rest. Now here in this chapter chapter the Lord points out how this universe functions by force to the "Vital Force" known as “Atma" or "Purusha" by sankhya and Jiva" by Jains. If you know this, Lord says, everything worth knowing is automatically known. Lord then describes what things are non Atmie that is, Ajiva (usita) as distianguished distianguished from Jiva (sita) and how they act and interact with each other causing various levents in this universe.
