Bhagavad Gita 13.34

क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोरेवमन्तरं ज्ञानचक्षुषा।भूतप्रकृतिमोक्षं च ये विदुर्यान्ति ते परम्॥

kṣhetra-kṣhetrajñayor evam antaraṁ jñāna-chakṣhuṣhā bhūta-prakṛiti-mokṣhaṁ cha ye vidur yānti te param

Translation

They who by the eyes of Wisdom perceive this difference between the Field and the Knower of the Field, and the liberation of beings from Matter they go to the Supreme.

What it means

Those who, with the eye of knowledge, perceive the distinction between field and knower of the field, and the liberation of beings from nature, attain the supreme. The whole chapter is gathered into one act of discernment. Seeing the difference is the deliverance.

Try this today

Chapter 13 closes on its one distinction: see field versus knower clearly, and the way out opens.

Something to reflect on

Can I make the one distinction - field versus knower - in the middle of a hard hour?
