Wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita 48

12. I shall describe that which has to be known, knowing which one attains to immortality, the beginningless Supreme Brahman. It is called neither being nor non-being. 

13. With hands and feet everywhere, with eyes, heads and mouths everywhere, with ears everywhere in the universe—That exists pervading all. 

14. Shining by the functions of all the senses, yet without the senses; Absolute, yet sustaining all; devoid of Gunas, yet their experiencer. 

15. Without and within all beings; the unmoving and also the moving; because of Its subtlety incomprehensible; It is far and near. 

16. Impartible, yet It exists as if divided in beings: It is to be known as sustaining beings; and devouring, as well as generating them. 

17. The Light even of lights, It is said to be beyond darkness; Knowledge, and the One Thing to be known, the Goal of knowledge, dwelling in the hearts of all. 

18. Thus Kshetra, knowledge, and that which has to be known, have been briefly stated. Knowing this, My devotee is fitted for My state. 

19. Know you that Prakriti and Purusha are both beginningless; and know you also that all modifications and Gunas are born of Prakriti. 

20. In the production of the body and the senses, Prakriti is said to be the cause; in the experience of pleasure and pain, Purusha is said to be the cause. 

21. Purusha seated in Prakriti, experiences the Gunas born of Prakriti; the reason of his birth in good and evil wombs is his attachment to the Gunas. 

22. And the Supreme Purusha in this body is also called the Looker-on, the Permitter, the Supporter, the Experiencer, the Great Lord, and the Highest Self. 

23. He who thus knows the Purusha and Prakriti together with the Gunas, whatever his life, is not born again.
