Matter and Spirit (Kshetra Kshetrajna Vibhaga Yoga)

[Guest guest]

11. Constancy in Self-knowledge, perception of the end of the knowledge of

truth. This is declared to be knowledge and what is opposed to it is ignorance.

 

12. That which has to be known I shall describe; knowing which one attains the

Immortal. Beginningless is the Supreme Brahman. It is not said to be 'sat' or

'asat'.

 

13. With hands and feet everywhere, with eyes and heads and mouths everywhere,

with hearing everywhere, That exists enveloping all.

 

14. Shining by the function of all the senses, (yet) without the senses;

unattached, yet supporting all; devoid of qualities.

 

15. Without and within (all) beings; the unmoving as also the moving. Because

subtle, That is incomprehensible; and near and far away is That.

 

16. And undivided, yet remaining divided as it were in beings; supporter of

beings, too is That, the Knowable; devouring, yet generating.

 

17. The Light even of lights, That is said to be beyond darkness. Knowledge, the

Knowable, the Goal of knowledge, (It) is implanted in the heart of every one.

 

18. Thus the Kshetra, as well as knowledge and the Knowable, have been briefly

set forth. My devotee, on knowing this, is fitted for My state.

 

19. Know thou that Prakriti as well as Purusha are both beginningless; and know

thou also that all forms and qualities are born of Prakriti.

 

20. As the producer of the effect and the instruments, Prakriti is said to be

the cause; as experiencing pleasure and pain, Purusha is said to be the cause.
