وہ جیو کے گُن کو شعور سے آراستہ کہتے ہیں؛ وہ خود بھی عمل کرتا ہے اور سب کو عمل پر لگاتا ہے۔ اسی لیے میدانِ جسم کے عارف کہتے ہیں کہ کْشَیترَجْنْی سے بھی برتر وہ پرماتما ہے جس نے ساتوں جہانوں کو حرکت میں ڈالا۔

Educational Q&A

Conscious agency is attributed to the living self, yet a higher principle is affirmed: beyond the individual knower of the body (kṣetrajña) stands the Supreme Self who initiates and governs the cosmic order, including the seven worlds.

In a doctrinal discussion, Bharadvāja articulates a hierarchy of principles: the conscious individual self that acts and impels action, and above it the Supreme Self, identified as the cosmic initiator who set the seven realms in motion.
