Bhagavad Gita 13.18
इति क्षेत्रं तथा ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं चोक्तं समासतः। मद्भक्त एतद्विज्ञाय मद्भावायोपपद्यते॥
iti kṣetraṁ tathā jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ coktaṁ samāsataḥ mad-bhakta etad vijñāya mad-bhāvāyopapadyate
Translation
Thus the field, knowledge, and what is to be known have been briefly told. My devotee, knowing this, becomes fit for my state.
Reflection
Settle the three pieces of this chapter as a unit before reading further.
Read this verse in its chapter: Chapter Thirteen
The three-part teaching summarized in one breath. Field, told. Knowledge, told. Object of knowledge, told. Krishna names the result: my devotee, knowing this, attains my own state of being. Mad-bhavaya upapadyate. Not just liberation, but becoming-Krishna-like. The verse closes the first half of the chapter. Everything from here will be application. Read this verse as a checkpoint. If the previous seventeen verses have been read carefully, you have all three pieces in place: a clean inventory of what the body-mind is, a long portrait of the practitioner, a description of what gets known when knowing matures. Today let the three settle as a unit before going on.
