इच्छा द्वेषः सुखं दुःखं सङ्घातश्चेतना धृतिः । एतत्क्षेत्रं समासेन सविकारमुदाहृतम् ॥ ६ ॥
ichchhā dveṣhaḥ sukhaṁ duḥkhaṁ saṅghātaśh chetanā dhṛitiḥ etat kṣhetraṁ samāsena sa-vikāram udāhṛitam
Translation
desire and aversion, pleasure and pain, the body as a whole, awareness and resolve: this, in brief, is the field with its changes.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
इच्छा, द्वेष, सुख, दुःख, स्थूल देह का पिंड, चेतना और धृति, इस प्रकार विकारों सहित यह क्षेत्र संक्षेप में कहा गया।
Commentary
Even desire, aversion, pleasure and pain are counted as part of the field: changes that take place in nature, not in the soul. Chetana here means the living awareness that shows up in the body, and dhriti the capacity to hold on. The point is freeing: our moods and cravings are real, but they are happenings in the field, and the knower can watch them without being them.
