13.35
क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोरेवमन्तरं ज्ञानचक्षुषा
The eye of wisdom is the discrimination generated by the study of scriptures and the Guru's teachings. Those who perceive the absolute distinction between the body (field) and the Atman (knower), and understand how the illusion of Prakriti is dissolved, merge into Brahman which is the supreme state of non-dual consciousness.
