 Srimad Bhagavadgeeta :

 Chapter-13. ( Kshetra-kshetrajna-vibhaga-yogam)

 Slokam-20.

 Prakratim purusham caiva viddhiyanadi ubavapi,

 Vikaramsca guna.scaiva viddhi prakratisambavan.

 Prakrtim = Nature;

 Purusham = Living entities;

 Ubhau = Both;

 Api = Also;

 Eva = Certainly;

 Viddhi = Must know; 

 Anadhi = Without beginning; 

 Vikaran = Transformation ( emotion ); 

 Ca = Also;

 Gunan = Three modes of nature ( Sattva, Rajas, Tamas );

 Ca = Also;

 Eva = Certainly;

 Viddhi = Know; 

 Prakrti = Nature;

 Sambhavan = Produced of.

 In the 8th chapter, Lord explained HiS "VIBHUTI-S" with the adjectives viz 1. "APARA-PRAKRATI"and 2. "Para-PRAKRATI" and the complete ( whole things ) are generated from these two totality.
Apara-prakrati is called as "Kshetram" otherwise known as 'Prakrati or Nature.' And Para-prakrati is called as 'Kshetrajnan or Purushan.'

 Prakrati and Purushan are the two bhavas ( states) of Paramatma, 
and just like Paramatma, they too has no beginning ( Infinite ).
From the Praktrati and Purushan 'Samyogam'( union ), this 'Samsaram'( Life ) born. Samsaram is generated, sustained, and degenerated by Prakrati and Purushan. The leela ( play ) is happening in "BRAHMAM"which is beyond everything.

 The incident in the "Samashti" ( Social Structure ) is also happening in "Viyashti." Lord says : Influenced by my vasanas I create a state of experience to my requirements; sustain it as far as I need; later when I don't need I discard it. The vasanas in me are prakrati and I am Purushan. Myself and my vasanas are the cause for my Samsaram.

 "Likes and Dislikes, Joy and Sorrow, this way all emotions and three gunas such as Sattvam, Rajas, and Tamas are Prakrati Darmam-s."

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-9. Part-8.

9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved : Part-8. The distressed souls seeking God are of one type. One who is baked in the fire of samsaram,who is tortured in this hell of earth, suffering through various sorrows, seeks riddance from the grief of the world by resort to God under the impression that God is like a parent—a father or a mother or a supreme saviour. The intention behind this devotion is redress—freedom from sorrow, the inability to bear suffering. This is the reason here behind the devotion to God. Whether this could be an adequate reason, anyone can contemplate independently for oneself. Can we love God merely because He is the only source of redemption from our sorrows? Do we want freedom from sorrow, or do we want God? That is a different question that will come up later on. Swami Krishnananda To be continued  ....

The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Chapter 4: Stories from the Aranya Parva - 1. ================================================================================== The Aranya Parva of the Mahabharata is a very vast book. It is the largest book, next to the Shanti Parva, out of the eighteen books of the Mahabharata. All the stories, anecdotes, narrations, mythological descriptions – practically all which we may consider as popular religion – can be seen beautifully pictured in the Aranya Parva of the Mahabharata. It is one of the most interesting treatises, filled with stories of wondrous, miraculous occurrences and the possibilities, secrets, and profundities of creation. No human being will believe some of the things stated there. They will say that this is not possible, but everything is possible in this crea...
