Verse 13.26

Verse 13.26: “Any entity whatsoever, immobile or mobile, that comes into being; understand, O Bull of Bharata (clan), that it does so through the conjunction of the Field with the Field-knower. (1051)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

You have already been preached the ‘Self’—which is otherwise known as the Kshetrajna (kṣetrajña—knower of the field), as also the ‘Kshetra’ (kṣetra—Field). The aggregate of the beings is created from the union of these two. Just as the waves are created in water, when it is associated with the wind or just as floods of mirage are created with the coming together of (Sun’s) rays and the heated barren plains or just as with the copious showers from the clouds the earth gets soaked with water, and sprouts forth shoots of different plants; in the same way, know ye, the entire universe consisting of movables and immovables-all that is designated as living organism—is created through the union of both (the Kshetra and the Kshetrajna), and therefore, Oh Arjuna, the entire class of beings (with names and forms) is not distinct from Kshetrajna, and primeval matter (Prakriti).
