Arjuna <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/a/arjuna> said: O my dear Krishna <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/krsna>, I wish to know about prakriti <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/p/prakrti> [nature], purusha <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/p/purusa> [the enjoyer], and the field and the knower of the field, and of knowledge and the object of knowledge. The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: This body, O son of Kunti <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/kunti>, is called the field, and one who knows this body is called the knower of the field. Arjuna <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/a/arjuna> was inquisitive about prakriti <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/p/prakrti> (nature), purusha <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/p/purusa> (the enjoyer), kshetra <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/ksetra> (the field), kshetra <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/ksetra> -jna <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/j/jna> (its knower), and knowledge and the object of knowledge. When he inquired about all these, Krishna <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/krsna> said that this body is called the field and that one who knows this body is called the knower of the field. This body is the field of activity for the conditioned soul. The conditioned soul is entrapped in material existence, and he attempts to lord it over material nature. And so, according to his capacity to dominate material nature, he gets a field of activity. That field of activity is the body. And what is the body? The body is made of senses. The conditioned soul wants to enjoy sense gratification, and, according to his capacity to enjoy sense gratification, he is offered a body, or field of activity. Therefore, the body is called kshetra <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/ksetra>, or the field of activity for the conditioned soul. Now, the person, who should not identify himself with the body, is called kshetra <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/ksetra> -jna <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/j/jna>, the knower of the field. It is not very difficult to understand the difference between the field and its knower, the body and the knower of the body. Any person can consider that from childhood to old age he undergoes so many changes of body and yet is still one person, remaining. Thus, there is a difference between the knower of the field of activities and the actual field of activities. A living conditioned soul can thus understand that he is different from the body. It is described in the beginning -- dehino 'smin -- that the living entity is within the body and that the body is changing from childhood to boyhood and from boyhood to youth and from youth to old age, and the person who owns the body knows that the body is changing. The owner is distinctly kshetra <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/ksetra> -jna <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/j/jna>. Sometimes we think, "I am happy," "I am a man," "I am a woman," "I am a dog," "I am a cat." These are the bodily designations of the knower. But the knower is different from the body. Although we may use many articles -- our clothes, etc. -- we know that we are different from the things used. Similarly, we also understand by a little contemplation that we are different from the body. I or you or anyone else who owns the body is called kshetra <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/ksetra> -jna <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/j/jna>, the knower of the field of activities, and the body is called kshetra <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/k/ksetra>, the field of activities itself. In the first six chapters of Bhagavad-gita <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/g/gita> the knower of the body (the living entity) and the position by which he can understand the Supreme Lord are described. In the middle six chapters of the Bhagavad-gita <https://web.archive.org/web/20070224194200/http:/bhagavadgitaasitis.com/g/gita> the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the relationship between the individual soul and the Supersoul in regard to devotional service are described. The superior position of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the subordinate position of the individual soul are definitely defined in these chapters. The living entities are subordinate under all circumstances, but in their forgetfulness, they are suffering. When enlightened by pious activities, they approach the Supreme Lord in different capacities -- as the distressed, those in want of money, the inquisitive, and those in search of knowledge. That is also described. Now, starting with the Thirteenth Chapter, how the living entity comes into contact with material nature and how he is delivered by the Supreme Lord through the different methods of fruitive activities, cultivation of knowledge, and the discharge of devotional service are explained. Although the living entity is completely different from the material body, he somehow becomes related. This also is explained. मधु॒ वाता ऋतायते मधु क्षरन्ति सिन्धवः। माध्वीर्नः सन्त्वोषधीः ॥ madhu̱ vātā ṛtāyate madhu kṣaranti sindhavaḥ। mādhvīrnaḥ santvoṣadhīḥ ॥ Environment provides bliss to people leading their life perfectly. Rivers bliss us with sacred water and provide us health, night, morning, vegetation. Sun bliss us with peaceful life. Our cows provide us milk. Rigveda, 1/90/6 दश कूप समा वापी, दशवापी समोह्नद्रः। दशह्नद समः पुत्रों, दशपुत्रो समो द्रमुः। daśa kūpa samā vāpī, daśavāpī samohnadraḥ। daśahnada samaḥ putroṃ, daśaputro samo dramuḥ। One step is equal to ten wells, one pond is equal to ten stepwells, one son is equal to ten ponds and one tree is equal to ten sons. “*tasmat yajnat sarvahutah samvrtan p**ṛ**sadajyan pasuntansakre vayabyanaranyan gr**ā**myasca ye.*” (*Rigveda,*10/90/8) • Protection of birds, animals is a norm of Hindu religion. The Hindu mythology believes fourteen avataras (births) of the god like Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Nrisingha etc. signify the devine forms in such animals and thereby making their life secure. The cobra is worshipped on the eve of Nagpanchami and cows are offered adoration on the occasion of the Balabhadrapuja. Killing of certain animals and birds who acted as scavengers by feeding on carcasses and filth was religiously banned according to the Vedas. It is need of the day to follow in the root steps of the ancient period— “*kincideva tu vipry**ā**ya dadyadasthimatan vadhe. Anasthanancaiva himsayah pranayamena **ś**udhyati.*’’ (*Manu -samhita*-11/142) When you read over all the above B G speaks first about our body and knowledge of the body. Selfish protection for upkeep, is not prohibitive; and that knowledge is a must. Shetra and shetragna. Then kshetra Gnanam has avoidance of the senses chasing and needs the proper way to fulfil the needs; “tat vadham”; making ornaments from Gold is natural; it is not damage to the nature; utility of the nature is not prohibitive; using them against the natural needs is a sin. Purusha and Prakrithi are husband and wife; and one is evolved from another; so respect the nature. And these words, gets its strength from the roots of the Rigvedam as seen above. West named their names as nature; but In India Nature is worshipped; but nature protection is individual problem and had to find a collective solution. NATURE CAN GROOM BY ITSELF AS THE CREATION IS CYCLIC.
