The Energy
Authored by THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM
इति क्षेत्रं तथा ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं चोक्तं समासतः ।
मद्भक्त एतद्विज्ञाय मद्भावायोपपद्यते
॥ १३=१९॥
iti kṣetraṁ tathā jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ
co 'ktaṁ samāsataḥ madbhakta
etadvijñāya madbhāvāyopapadyate
Thus the field of activities, knowledge and the knowable has been summarily described by Me. It is only when we can understand the true nature of our supreme Self and the material world with which we have created false identities that we can go beyond this and attain the supreme Self itself
POWERFUL COGNITION
The understanding of the kṣetra, the illusory world created by our minds, is important in helping us to differentiate between reality and non-reality
प्रकृतिं पुरुषं चैव विद्ध्यनादी उभावपि ।
विकारांश्च गुणांश्चैव विद्धि प्रकृतिसम्भवान्
॥ १३-२०॥
prakṛtiṁ puruṣaṁ caiva
viddhyanādī ubhāvapi vikārāṁś ca
guṇāṁś caiva viddhi prakṛti
saṁbhavān
Prakṛti or the field and its attributes and the puruṣa or the knower or the supreme consciousness are both without beginning. All the transformations of nature that we see are produced by the field or prakṛti
POWERFUL COGNITION
It is only in the uncorrupted and pure inner space of completion that God manifests and the Divine consciousness is perceived.
कार्यकारणकर्तृत्वे हेतुः प्रकृतिरुच्यते ।
पुरुषः सुखदुःखानां भोक्तृत्वे हेतुरुच्यते
॥ १३-२१ ॥
kārya-kāraṇa-kartṛtve hetuḥ
prakṛtirucyate puruṣaḥ sukha-
duḥkhānāṁ bhoktṛtve heturucyate
In the production of the body and
the senses, prakṛti is said to be the
cause; In the experience of pleasure
and pain, puruṣa is said to be the
cause
POWERFUL COGNITION
The understanding that this world is nothing but a projection of the mind, the understanding that this is not our real identity, will put us into reality
