✦ अर्थ
यह श्लोक तेरहवें अध्याय का आरम्भ गीता के सर्वाधिक महत्त्वपूर्ण विवेकों में से एक से करता है — शरीर और जो कुछ भी अनुभव किया जाता है वह 'क्षेत्र' है, जबकि शरीर को जानने वाला चेतन आत्मा 'क्षेत्रज्ञ' (क्षेत्र का ज्ञाता) है। साधक को निरन्तर परिवर्तनशील क्षेत्र और भीतर के साक्षी ज्ञाता के बीच विवेक करना सिखाकर भगवान श्रीकृष्ण आत्मज्ञान की नींव रखते हैं — यह बोध कि हम शरीर नहीं, अपितु उसे जानने वाली चेतना हैं।
उत्पत्ति और कथा
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 13, Verse 2 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)
The thirteenth chapter, the Yoga of the Distinction between the Field and its Knower (Kshetra-Kshetrajna Vibhaga Yoga), turns from action and devotion to pure knowledge. In its opening teaching, Krishna defines the body as the 'field' and the conscious self as its 'knower', laying the groundwork for the discriminative wisdom by which the soul is realized as distinct from the body.
✦ शास्त्रों में वर्णित
Teachers of Vedanta have long used this single distinction — field and knower — as the doorway to liberation; many seekers recount that simply holding to the truth 'I am the knower, not the field' dissolved long-standing fear of death and revealed an unshakeable inner peace.

श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता १३.२ — इदं शरीरं कौन्तेय जप विधि
Chant this verse as the opening of a contemplation on 'Who am I?' As you recite 'kshetram' (the field) and 'kshetrajna' (the knower), let the mind distinguish between the body and experiences on one side, and the silent awareness that knows them on the other. Use it before meditation to settle into your identity as the witnessing knower, abiding peacefully behind all that is seen and felt.
