Verse 7.5

अपरेयमितस्त्वन्यां प्रकृतिं विद्धि मे पराम्। जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत्।।7.5।।

apareyam itas tvanyāṁ prakṛitiṁ viddhi me parām jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat

Meaning

Yo, Arjuna, strong arms and all, this nature thing? It's basic. It's totally different from my higher nature, the ultimate life force that keeps this whole world poppin'.

Commentary

Okay, so like, the eight-fold nature thingy from the last verse? Total lower-tier vibes. It's all about the material world, the 'field,' you know? It's sus, creates bad juju, and traps you. But the higher nature? That's pure fire. It's like, my actual self, the 'knower' that keeps everything alive. It's in everything, holding the whole universe together. It's the life force, the self-awareness that makes this whole thing go.
