The immortal Soul, with its physical embodiment, is the main theme of this discourse. The supreme transcendental Spirit, which is the eternal substratum beyond both, is also described in a wonderful manner. The knower of the Supreme Reality is instantly liberated.

The main theme of the chapter Kshetra Kshetrajna Vibhaga Yoga is the immortal atma with its physical embodiment. The chapter also describes the supreme transcendental reality, which is the eternal substratum.  

The blessed Lord tells us that the knowledge of the Field and the Knower of the Field is the true knowledge. This highest and the best knowledge grants us divine wisdom and spiritual illumination that lead to divine beatitude. This body is the Field. The Immortal Soul (yourself), dwelling in the body is the Knower of the Field. Verily, it is the Supreme Being who has projected Himself and assumed the form of this Knower of the Field within this body. This self is none other than That. Thus, Lord Krishna explains the mystery of the individual soul dwelling within this mortal body. This knowledge constitutes the main subject matter of all the scriptures and the highest philosophical works.

Sri Krishna in this Chapter explains that the knowledge of the Field and the Knower of the Field constitutes true knowledge. He says, this body is the Field and the immortal atma, dwelling in the body, is the Knower of the Field. And it is none other than the Supreme Being who has projected Himself in form of Knower of the Field within the body. Therefore, the Self is none other than the Supreme reality.

Then follows the declaration of the Supreme Soul, the knowledge of which grants us immortality.ThatSupremeRealityistheoneuniversalEssencepresenteverywhere.Itpervadesall. It shines within the inmost chambers of our heart, it is everything, it is the one seer, the witness, the guide, sustainer, experiencer and Lord of all. One who knows this mystery is not bound by activity even in the midst of life. When we perceive this supreme Presence dwelling in all beings we cannot injure anyone. Krishna asks us to see and know the difference between the Field (body or Prakriti) and the Knower of the Field (Spirit or Purusha), and thus reach the Self.
