Hari Om!
Swami Aparajitananda describes various terms used for Kshetra and Kshetrajña, the knowledge of which is said to be the REAL KNOWLEDGE as it puts an end to samsāra
Verses 6 to 8 define and describe NATURE OF SELF (KSHETRAJÑA). Kshetra and Kshetrajña are also differentiated. The birthless, deathless, decayless, growthless, yet refreshing nature of Self is discussed in detail.
After analysing the fact that CONSCIOUSNESS/I/WITNESS is the same at various stages of body, it is proved to be so even in presence or absence of body by extending the logic beyond death. The one who abides in Self overcomes the sorrow of death.
Consciousness unaffected by pañcha-mahābhūtas is analysed vividly. Indestructible, imperishable and all-pervading nature of Self is explained.
Verse 9 is specified as giving the highest philosophy of "ultimate statement of Advaita Vedānta", viz.
1. Sat (Real) always exists.
2. Asat (unreal) never exists.
Ramana Maharshi, a Tattvadarshī, had experienced and known the truth of both and therefore, chosen the verse.
It is explained that between Sat (Kshetrajña) and asat (Kshetra), only He exists. World is illusionary projection. The two entities - Nitya and anitya - are used for beginners. Anitya has only a borrowed existence and no independent existence.
Just like in dream -
nothing except me / ME exists.
(Next: Consciousness compared to space, light and sweet home.)
(Gītā Sārah by Bhagavān Ramana Maharshi - Talk 3 of 9: Verses 6 to 9)
