टीका / Commentary

This verse beautifully illustrates the relationship between the knower (consciousness) and the known (material nature). Just as the sun illumines the entire world without being affected, the soul illumines the body with consciousness. The sun is one, yet its light pervades everywhere; similarly, the soul, though one, manifests consciousness throughout the body. "भारत" addresses Arjuna as one who is worthy of this knowledge.
