यथा प्रकाशयत्येकः कृत्स्नं लोकमिमं रविः ।क्षेत्रं क्षेत्री तथा कृत्स्नं प्रकाशयति भारत ॥
yathā prakāśayatyekaḥ kṛtsnaṁ lokamimaṁ raviḥkṣetraṁ kṣetrī tathā kṛtsnaṁ prakāśayati bhārata
As the one sun illumines the entire earth, so the Lord of the Field illumines the entire Field, O Bharata.

Essays on the Gita
This Brahman, this eternal and spiritual knower of the field13·34–35 of his own natural becoming, this Nature, his perpetual energy, which converts herself into that field, this immortality of the soul in mortal nature, — these things together make the whole reality of our existence. The spirit within, when we turn to it, illumines the entire field of Nature with its own truth in all the splendour of its rays. In the light of that sun of knowledge the eye of knowledge opens in us and we live in that truth and no longer in this ignorance. Then we perceive that our limitation to our present mental and physical nature was an error of the darkness, then we are liberated from the law of the lower Prakriti, the law of the mind and body, then we attain to the supreme nature of the spirit. That splendid and lofty change is the last, the divine and infinite becoming, the putting off of mortal nature, the putting on of an immortal existence.
