“This body is itself, O’ Arjun, a battlefield.” Yatharth Geeta – English – Chapter 1 – Shlok 1

।। ॐ श्री सद्गुरुदेव भगवान् की जय ।।
Srimad Bhagavad Gita Yatharth Geeta English Chapter 1 Shlok 1
Archaeologists are engaged in research in Punjab, Kashi, and Prayag to locate Kurukshetr. But the poet of the Geeta has himself suggested, through Lord Krishn, where the war of his sacred poem was fought. “This body is itself, O Arjun, a battlefield, and one who conquers it grows spiritually dexterous by perceiving its essence.” He then elaborates the structure of this “battlefield”, sphere of action, constituted of ten perceptors [The ten senses: five of perception (gyanendriy) and five of action (karmendriy)], the objective and the subjective mind, the ego, all the five perversions [object carriers (tanmatra) of the five senses of perception – word, touch, form, taste and smell – these are the five objects of the senses] and the three properties. The body itself is a field, a ring or an arena. The forces that clash on this field are twofold, the godly and the ungodly, the divine and the devilish, the offspring of Pandu and those of Dhritrashtr, the forces that are congenial to the essentially divine character of the Self and those which offend and demean it.
