Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 16-18 from the Thirteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The Song of God".🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 16:अविभक्तं च भूतेषु विभक्तमिव च स्थितम् |भूतभर्तृ च तज्ज्ञेयं ग्रसिष्णु प्रभविष्णु च ||16||Avibhaktaṁ cha bhūteṣhu vibhaktam iva cha sthitambhūta-bhartṛi cha taj jñeyaṁ grasiṣhṇu prabhaviṣhṇu cha ||16||🔴 He, (the Brahman) whom aspirants seek to know, is the impartible Whole, yet does He seem to dwell in all beings as if divided into many. He is the generator and supporter of all beings, and their devourer too.🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 17:ज्योतिषामपि तज्ज्योतिस्तमस: परमुच्यते |ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं ज्ञानगम्यं हृदि सर्वस्य विष्ठितम् ||17||Jyotiṣhām api taj jyotis tamasaḥ param uchyatejñānaṁ jñeyaṁ jñāna-gamyaṁ hṛidi sarvasya viṣhṭhitam ||17||🔴 The self-luminous light of consciousness revealing even all that is luminous, He is beyond obscuration by the darkness of ignorance. He, the light of knowledge, He, the quest of knowledge, He, the way to whom is knowledge -- in the inner-most recess of all beings is He established.🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 18:इति क्षेत्रं तथा ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं चोक्तं समासत: |मद्भक्त एतद्विज्ञाय मद्भावायोपपद्यते ||18||Iti kṣhetraṁ tathā jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ choktaṁ samāsataḥmad-bhakta etad vijñāya mad-bhāvāyopapadyate ||18||🔴 Thus has been briefly expounded what the Ksetra (material Nature) is, as also what constitutes knowledge and the object of knowledge. My devotee who understands these verities becomes worthy of My state.
