All belongs to God; we are tenants only, and work perfected when done for Krishna's satisfaction.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Bhagavad-gītā 13.3 — February 26, 1975, Miami 750226BG-MIAMI [41:30 Minutes] BG-13.03_750226BG-MIAMI Nitāi: "O scion of Bharata, you should understand that I am also the knower in all bodies, and to understand this body and its owner is called knowledge. That is My opinion." Prabhupāda: kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata kṣetra-kṣetrajñayor jñānaṁ yat taj jñānaṁ mataṁ mama [Bg. 13.3] So last night we discussed about the questions by Arjuna to Lord Kṛṣṇa. He had six questions. One question is: What is this nature, material nature, prakṛti?
And another question is puruṣaṁ, the living being, or the human being. The human being, or the living being. Actually living being, but especially the humankind, they are trying to exploit this material nature. So what is this material nature, and what are these living beings who are trying to exploit?
Two questions. The third: kṣetram, the field of activities. Take it as body or as your country or as your property. Whatever you...
That is called kṣetra. And kṣetra-jña means the proprietor or the knower. Four questions. And the jñānam and jñeyam: knowledge and the subject matter of knowledge, what is the subject matter of knowledge?
These six questions are put before Kṛṣṇa, the spiritual master of Arjuna. The first answer was there, that Kṛṣṇa said, idaṁ śarīraṁ kaunteya kṣetram ity abhidhīyate [Bg. 13.2]. This body. It is very simple question and simple answer.
One has to ponder over it, then things will be very clear. He said that kṣetra means "field of activities." Kṣetra… It is called kṣetra. Just like a plowman, it is called the…, what is called, plowman? The kṛśan?
The agriculturalist who works in the field? Devotee: Farmer? Prabhupāda: Farmer, yes. The farmer and the field. The farmer knows that "I am working on this farm, and there will be some production, and I will enjoy it." So the farmer and the farm, two different things. The farmer never thinks that "I am the farm." He never mistakes this.
