SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 13 Text 13

jneyam yat tat pravaksyami
yajjnatvamrtam asnute
anadi mat-param brahma
na sat tan nasad ucyate

jneyam--the knowable; yat--which; tat--that; pravaksyami--I shall now explain; yat--which; jnatva--knowing; amrtam--nectar; asnute--one tastes; anadi--beginningless; mat-param--subordinate to Me; brahma--spirit; na--neither; sat--cause; tat--that; na--nor; asat--effect; ucyate--is said to be.

TRANSLATION

I shall now explain the knowable, knowing which you will taste the eternal. Brahman, the spirit, beginningless and subordinate to Me, lies beyond the cause and effect of this material world.

PURPORT

The Lord has explained the field of activities and the knower of the field. He has also explained the process of knowing the knower of the field of activities. Now He begins to explain the knowable, first the soul and then the Supersoul. By knowledge of the knower, both the soul and the Supersoul, one can relish the nectar of life.
