Krishna identifies the self, or Paramatman, as the object of true knowledge and describes it as residing in the heart of all beings.

The chapter 13 of the “Bhagavad Gita” starts with six questions it was asked by king Arjuna from Lord Krishna. The questions are as follows, 1. What is field? 2. What is the knower of the field? 3. What is knowledge? 4. What is the object of knowledge? 5. What is material nature? 6. What is living entity?
The field and the knower of the field
Every living being has a soul and the soul requires a field of activity to express itself. So this field is our body and one who knows about the body is the knower of the field. So Lord Krishna says “I am the knower of the field as well as stated in all fields” here he says he is the knower of the field and he lives in the bodies of others. So as the seeds are sown in the field and get the harvest after sometimes human performance also produce karmic fruits. Therefore things that serve to make the nature of the field and its transformation can be divided into 9 categories. As a reply to Arjuna’s question to train about knowledge, Lord Krishna present a list of inner qualities, he gives 10 qualities. Absence of pride and arrogance, nonviolence, forbearance, honesty, attendance upon the Guru, purity, firmness, self-control, lack of attraction to sense objects, absence of ego notion, vision in the distress and evil of birth death old age and disease. Detachment, aloofness from sons wife home and the like, constant equanimity towards desired and undesired events, single minded devotion to Krishna supported by yoga, preferring of solitary places and avoiding the crowds, constantly contemplating knowledge of the self-envision in the purpose of knowledge concerned with the truth. Object of knowledge Krishna answer to the next question raised by Arjuna that is what is the object of knowledge. He is directly point at Bragman as the object of knowledge and then suddenly says it is “Paramathman” and “Supreme Person” who is a personal form of divine nature which resides in the human heart. So he described qualities of Paramathman. Everywhere his hands and legs it eyes, heads and faces and similarly its ears which exists everywhere in the world as such he is all-encompassing and aware of everything. Although devoid of perceptible qualities he appears to possess them. Although he maintains everything he is unattended to anything he is freed from goodness but nevertheless experiences the goodness he exists inside and outside of all creatures his unmoving and moving his subtlety makes him difficult to comprehend he is at once remote and nearby although he seems to be divided among all beings he is actually undivided he is to be known as the maintain devotee and creator of all creatures it is said that he is the light of lights situated beyond darkness his knowledge the object of knowledge and the goal of knowledge resides in everyone's heart. Material nature the living entity and the supreme person in the heart This is the answer to the questions what is material nature and what is soul the living entity. The actions of goodness provide framework to living entity to experience karma. if we are too much attached to goodness it will cause us to be reborn in Sansara and according to the actions of goodness we are born in a good or bad world. Versus 22 in Chapter 13 says the supreme person named Paramathman is said to exist in this body. So the of Porusha and Prakrthi is replaced by adding a third element that is Paramathman and supreme person. He lives in the body and shares experience with living entity therefore human body is comprised of three elements. 1. Porusha 2. Prakrthi 3. Supreme person This supreme person lives within all bodies; therefore both supreme person and Porusha are described as eternally and beginningless. Good works make our Sansarik life longer experiencing pleasure and pain. Therefore endless varieties of experiences are received by the living entity in the Sansarik life. The one who has the knowledge of the relationship between the Porusha and Prakrthi will not be reborn. Conclusion and descriptions of various versions People see their self in different ways :- some sees by themselves through meditation and inner contemplation Some sees through karmic yoga or theological studies. Some people see the self by listening to others. in whatever the way someone managed to see the self he will cross beyond the death because those who are born on earth are combination of both body and the knower of the field that is the supreme person and this knower of the field which is situated in everybody does not perish when the body precious. Various visions by which Arjuna was entrusted with. First vision: - supreme present who wear although untainted Second vision: - concerned with the working of the goodness contrasted with the passivity of the self Third vision: - vision of unity Fourth vision: - explicit vision of the Paramathman. so therefore those who have the I of knowledge can distinguish between the field and the knower of the field and with this understanding will go towards the supreme.
