Meaning

Yo, Arjuna, listen up! I'm gonna give you the lowdown on this whole 'field' thing – what it is, what it does, where it comes from, who's in charge, and what their powers are. It's all gonna be super brief.

Commentary

Okay, so like, Arjuna, I'm 'bout to drop some serious knowledge on you. We're talking about this 'field,' right? Your body. I'm gonna break down what it is, how it changes, where it comes from, who's running the show (that's me!), and what my powers are. It's all about the body, its transformations, its properties, what causes its effects, who owns it, and whether it's all natural or if someone's messing with it. This 'field' is the same one we talked about earlier. I'm gonna tell you who the boss is, the one who knows the field, and what their powers are. It's all about the senses, the mind, the soul, the prana, and primordial nature. Think of it like this: your body is the field, your senses are the workers, your mind is the manager, your soul is the tenant, your prana is the crew, and primordial nature is the owner. She's the one who plants the seeds (good or bad), and you reap what you sow. It's all about karma, fam. I'm about to drop some truth bombs on you about the field and the one who knows it, so listen up!
