1. Arjuna said:

Prakriti and Purusha, the Field and the Knower of the Field, Knowledge and the object of Knowledge, these I fain would learn, O Keshava.

2. The Blessed Lord said:

This body, O son of Kunti, is called the Field; that which takes cognisance of the Field is called the Knower of the Field by the sages.

3. Understand Me as the Knower of the Field in all Fields, O Bharata; it is the knowledge at once of the Field and its Knower which is the real illumination and only wisdom.

4. What that Field is and what are its character, nature, source, deformations, and what He is and what His powers, hear that now briefly from Me.

5. It has been sung by the Rishis in manifold ways in various inspired verses; and also by the Brahmasutra which give us the rational and philosophic analysis.

6-7. The indiscriminate unmanifest Energy; the five elemental states of matter; the ten senses and the one (mind), intelligence and ego; the five objects of the senses. (This is the constitution of the Kshetra.) Liking and disliking, pleasure and pain (these are the principal deformations of the Kshetra); consciousness, collocation, persistence; these, briefly described, constitute the Field and its deformations.

8. A total absence of worldly pride and arrogance, harmlessness, a candid soul, a tolerant, long-suffering and benignant heart, purity of mind and body, tranquil firmness and steadfastness, self-control and a masterful government of the lower nature and the heart’s worship given to the Teacher.

9-10. A firm removal of the natural being’s attraction to the objects of the senses, a radical freedom from egoism, absence of clinging to the attachment and absorption of family and home, a keen perception of the defective nature of the ordinary life of physical man with its aimless and painful subjection to birth and death and disease and age, a constant equalness to all pleasant or unpleasant happenings.
