1 Gita Sloka Every Day - Chapter 13 - Kshetra Kshetrajna Yoga - Sloka 18
Iti kshetram tatha gyanam gyeyam choktam sama satah I
Mad bhajatah etat vigyaya mad bhavaya upa padyate II sloka 18
इति क्षेत्रं तथा ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं चोक्तं सम सतः I
मद् भजतः एतत् विज्ञाय मद भावाय उप पद्यते II श्लोक 18
Thus the kshetra, knowledge and that which has to be known have been briefly described. My devotee on knowing this, is fitted for my state.
On whatever object a man directs his entire attention, he is able to understand that object in its true state. He who is absorbed in devotion to Iswara is able to know him. It is jnana when man understands that God alone is revealing himself as everything. This wisdom places him for ever in the presence of Iswara. Soaked as he is in the thought and feeling of God, he dwells with God.
