The Yoga of the Field and the Knower of the Field

Krishna describes the vision that leads to Brahman. When one sees all separate beings as situated in one source and sees their expansion from that source, one attains Brahman. Most people see only separation—different people, different beings, different forms. They think: 'Everyone is separate. Everything is different.' But they're seeing only the field—diverse, separate, different. They're not seeing the unity behind diversity. When you see the separate existence of all beings as situated in one source, you see unity. The field appears separate—different beings, different forms. But the knower is one—all beings have their source in one Supreme. When you see the expansion of all beings from one source, you see the relationship. All beings expand from the one Supreme. The field appears as many, but it expands from one. When you have this vision—seeing all separate beings as coming from one source, seeing their expansion from that source—you attain Brahman. You realize the unity behind diversity. You see the one source of all. This is the realization of Brahman—the ultimate reality, the source of all. Brahman is not somewhere else—it's the one source of all. When you see this, you attain Brahman. You don't need to reach it—you need to see it. The vision itself is the attainment.
