My devotee will know such knowledge

iti ksetram tatha jnanam,jneyam co ktam samasatah
madhakta etad vijnaya,madbhavayo papadyate.--18
Thus the field also knowledge,and objects of knowldge have been described.my 'Bhagat'[devotee] who understands thus becomes worthy of my state.
Thus what is field[known]like our body,sense organs,mind,intellect and after that what is supports to knowledge is described as non-violence,patience ect and also about 'juana' knowledge,knower of the field is describedit is the supreme knowledge,precision work of vadanta which is written in vadas.
Now the solaka indicates us who is eligible for such a knowledge?" my bhagat[my devotee]" Lord krishana said.because my devotee has trust in me[God].he is wise to see the world as illusion.becuse we are not going to live every time.one day we are going this play.Hindus thinks this world is like a play[game].we are actors here not permanent.permanent is 'shakshi'[knower of the field, witness]

He is light of lights.

jyotisamsam api taj jyotis,tamasah param ucyate,
jnanam jneyam jnanagamyam hrdi sarvasya dhisthitam.--17
He is light of lights,said to be beyond darkness,Knowledge,the object of knowledge and the goal of knowledge-he is seated in hearts of all.
Every source of light like sun,stars,takes light from from the supreme because these are creations of god.He is crater of all beings.The light of sun,moon,etc,takes place from that.He is said to be beyond darkness.
jnanam[knowledge]--that which is described in Gita before in 7th solaka as absence of pride,non-violence,patience that which has to be known is called'jneyam and when we find it in our hearts in self is called 'jnanagamyam'.
First of all we hear about that supreme and according to upnisdas we start to maintain these qualities within us.as patience non-violence etc.it is first a theory but when our interest expands then we becomes eager for practical.and when our effort becomes enough we find in our heart[BLISS].To achieve this we should do work hard in saddhana.as maharishi described what is the use of knowing other thing without knowing ourselves.

self is undivided yet seems divided

anibhaktam ca bhutesu,unbhaktam iva ca sthitam,
bhutabharir, ca taj jneyam,grasisnu,prabhavisnu ca.--16
He is undivided and he seems to be divided among beings.He is to be known as supporting creatures,destroying them afresh.
He is indivisible constant consistent. what we do,that our every action takes place in his space.if we goes to office,without space how can we go?if we built a new house,a factory,for this we needs space.we thinks this is our room.but before room there was space,where we sit,sleep,eat that is also a space of this room.but if we destroy that room then there will be the same space.space is in dividable but but it looks dividable.like this existence of our body is in him.if body will comes to an end not god that is supporting to our body.
These three things he never gives to any other,he do it himself.our birth,our death,our livelihood.it remains in his hands every time.so he is to be known as supporting creatures destroying them and creating them fresh.--16

Self is within all things

Bahir antas ca bhutanam,acaram caram eva ca,
suksmatvat tad avijneyam,durastham ca ntike ca tat.--15he is without and withen all beings.he is unmoving as also moving.he is too subtle to be known.he is far away and yet is he near.
The meaning of this solaka is simple and according last solaka.There is not any place where his existence is not.He is everywhere and knows everything.
He is unmoving and also moving.In realty we can not define him as as this is a book. Because he is subtle .our sense organs are very subtle but he is subtler from that also.so it is called subtler to subtler.as we hear a crow is crowing.and that very voice fells upon our mind.but knower knows to this image of crowing on our mind.he knows our past lives and future lives also.Like an axle of a wheel,we can see wheel moving but can not see axle moving.but without axle wheel can not move. likewise we can not do anything without him.He is without Gunas[disposition of parkrti] and yet enjoying.

self is like cinema scream

sarvendriyagunabhasam,sarvendriyavivarjitam,
asaktam sarvabhrc caii va,nirgunam gunabhoktr ca.--14
He appears to have the qualities of all the senses and yet is without any of the senses,unattached and yet supporting all free from the [gunas] dispositions of parkriti.and yet enjoying them.
He is knower of our senses.just when we saw a figure,that image catches our mind.but there is someone who sees[knows]of that figure on our mind.this applies on our sense organs also.as touch,hearing,smell and taste.but he[knower]knows of that objects on our mind.but he remains separate from that,name and forms which appears on our mind.
Maharishi Ramana used to say,"our self is like a cinema scream where figures comes and goes but it remains separate from that .we should remove these figures by the practice of 'HOW AM I.'Simply we can say.this study of scriptures is like to know the theory but to know the knower we should apply the method of meditation without any figure.

God is everywhere

sarvatahpanipadam,tat.sarvatahpadam
sarvatatahsrutimal,loke,sarvam avrvam avrtya tisthati.--13
With his hands and feet everywhere,with eyes,heads and faces on all sides,with ears on all sides,he dwells in the world,enveloping all.--13
There is no any place where God is not.every thing is created by him.He is our crater,our good and bad actions takes place by him.He can hear every feeling of our mind.any emotion judged by him.He knows our awakening[jagrit] dream[swapan]and deep sleep[shsupti].he is ultimate judge to bestow rewards or punishment for our good and evil deeds.If Favorable he rewards us with wisdom,if unhappy he turns that wisdom towards opposite.
So meaning of this sloka is according our our requirements that we can not see his hands.they are not visible but we can feel them when his hands saves us in a terrible trouble everywhere.he can see every action of our body,

I will describe eternal knowldge

jneyam yat tat pravaksyami,yaj jnatva mrtam asnute,
anadimat param brahma,na sat tan na sad ucyate.----12
I will describe that which is to be known and by knowing which life eternal is gained.It is the supreme brahman who is beginningless and who is called neither existent nor non -existent.
Lord krishana said i will describe that which is to be known and by knowing which life eternal is gained.This indicates to Bhramn which is our eternal life.I will explain this.By knowing this every thing we can know.we can say that without knowing this what is the use of knowing anything?So lord said these words. because every thing looks false,illusion after self realization.life becomes blissful and beautiful.we need not to go in five star hotel or to art gallery everything becomes like heaven even a dew drop.there are stories of saints and buddha`s Bikhus after getting enlightened they did not speak but remained silent.and if we realize it birth and death happen to be outward events which do not touch the events of the self.
Self is beginning less,it is infinite,it has no boundary.our universe is in the self[Atama]

Constancy in the knowledge of the spirit.

adhyatamajnananityatyatvam
tattvajnarthadarsanam,etaj jnanam iti proktam,ajnanam yad ato 'nyatha--11

Constancy in the knowledge of the spirit.insight into the end of the knowledge of truth-this is declared to be[true]knowledge and all that is different from it is non knowledge.
It is clear from this list that jnana or knowledge includes the practice of the moral virtues not mealy theoretical learning.this type of knowledge is necessary
only study of spiritual books not enough.Because the jauna knowledge is internal.we have to reach in bliss.maharishi used to say that I studied books many years after my enlightenment.than I came to know that books are describing what I have experienced.

Devotion

mayi ca nanyayogena,bhaktir bhicariniavya ,
vivktadesasevitvam,aratir janasamsadi.
Unswerving devotion to me with wholehearted discipline
,resort to solitary places,dislike for a crowd of people.
Concentration of mind is very necessary for devotion.if you concentrate on any figure as Rama,Krishana, Jesus,Nank or any other god,your mind should constantly be on that figure.here is the secret.when your devotion becomes stroner you can see the magic of this.your mind start to become cool and smooth beacuse you do not give room to other any worldly object.you will be astonish that your wishes start getting fulfiled without ever asking.
In Gita shri krishna said,"If any body devote on any God or Goddess i fulfill his desire because by that God or Goddess he is devoting to me."
Second method is of meditation.it is higher class.you have come on yourself.but it is necessary.As Buddha`s cousin said time,"Many Bikhshus get enlightend,and they came after me,but why i am not".Buddha said,"you will get enlightened after my death because you are much attached to my body.when my figure will disappear than you will".and that was right after his death that very night ananda get enlightened.because in meditation we have to leave the figure and name.[roopa,name]What we do in meditation?we delete our thoughts by observation.and when thoughts decreases meditation increases.you can find the way.
For theses both methods rowdy places are not much better.So Baghwan guides us that it will be better to live in lap of nature on any mountain,fall side of a River.we can see in ourselves that our mind automatically feels easy in such places.

Our attachments are our chains

our attachments are our chains which binds us to things like,home,car,furniture,son,wife,family etc.We have no problem by these things but when we attached to these things they becomes our chains.
If we want to fly in the sky we should leave the earth.This is our problem we do not want to detach from these things.for getting a new birth the old must die.st Bullaha shaha was a sufi st.he was planting nursery.A man came there and said,"st how can we find Allha? he said it is very simple.uproot a plant from one field and sow it in the other field.Likewise uproot to mind from worldly affairs and you can sow in the allhas[God] field.
Jesus said where will be our wealth automatically our mind will go there.In prayer or in meditation mind used to roaming here and there.we can see in our hearts that we are attached to these worldly things so thoughts like this type how can stop? inconsistency does not lies in that worldly affairs but whiten ourselves.
There is a word in sanskrit eashtanisht,[desirable and undesirable}.we wants desirable will come but undesirable will not come.but our body is according our deeds of previous deeds.they both will come in there time. because our body is as a field.what we had sown we will reap.But by devotion and meditation we can remain peacefully.we can see lives of many saints in every religion.

Knowledge

Thich nhat hanh said somewhere that mindfulness is like an elder brother.you pick his finger and you are protected everywhere.so if we are aware of anger, jealously,confusion than we can get rid of it.we have not do anything just to be aware of your thoughts,feelings,emotions.
we should imply vivakha,that this life will come to an end one day.and there is suffering in Death,birth,old age,sickness.we can not delay these things.so why we bothered.
To enter in the light darkness is necessary.To enter in a new dimension negative side is essential.our negative side as old age, depression,confusion,anger are necessary.so that we can take jump from it.so the perception of the evil as,sickness,birth, are necessary.
asaktir anabhisvangah,putradaragrhadisu,nityam ca samacittatvam,istanistopapattisu.--9
Non attachment,absence of clinging to son,wife,,home,and like and constant equal-mindednss to all desirable and undesirable happenings.

Knowledge

indifference to the objects of sense.Self effacement and perception of the evil of birth,death,old age,sickness,and pain.--8 solaka
indriyarthesu vairagyam,
anahamkara eva ca,
anmamrtyujaravyadhi
duhkhadosanudarsanam.--8 solaka
The meaning of this solaka is to live in this world but do not remain attached to the world.we should live a ego less life.The meaning of ego is that we do not know that we are separate from these visible elements such as body,mind,sense organs.we becomes one with these elements of field and do not know that we are knower of the field.If we becomes shakshi[witness] of these elements,than we will remain separate from the field.that is why j.krishanamurti used to say that observe every time to your mind,body,and activities.thus we can realize that blissful state,which is beyond these natural things[Field].j.said,"very observation is action".
But in vadanta we should practice for to separate real[knower of the field]and field.that is called vivakha.
