house, tennant and landlord

That is enquired here, ksetra..., ksetram ksetra-jnam ca. This body is ksetra, field of activities. But the field worker is different. Therefore this is the enquiry. Ksetram ksetra-jnam. We are taking care of this ksetra, this body, but we do not take care of the occupier of the body or the owner of the body. There are two ksetra-jna, you will find in this verse, two living entities. One is called the soul, and the other is called the Supersoul. In this body there are two souls. One is the occupier soul, and the other is the proprietor soul. Proprietor soul... Just like in a house there are two kinds of persons: the occupier and the landlord. The landlord is actually the proprietor of the house, and the tenant is occupier. Similarly, there are two souls within this body. That is stated in the Vedic literature. Just like two birds on one tree. So the living entity, the individual soul, is there. He is also one bird. And the Supersoul, or God, is also there.    (More...)
