My Understanding : How do you recognize what is Kshetra? How will you recognize Him? Krishna answers, “Understand ME as the Kshetrajna.” Here, ME represents the ideal farmer who nurtures and cultivates abundant crops. This ME symbolizes Shiva within us—the unseen essence in our conscience—the real ME. A person who lacks awareness often identifies their ego or outer self as ME. However, the true ME is Shiva, the invisible presence dwelling within. Kshetra and Kshetrajna signify the relationship between the field (the crop) and its caretaker, the one who tends and nurtures it.
