Icchha dveshah sukham duhkham sanghatash chetana dhritih, etat kshetram samasena sa-vikaram udahritam

Desire, hatred, happiness, distress, the aggregate of the senses, intelligence, and will — these together constitute the field and its modifications. All psychological and emotional phenomena belong to the field, not the true self.

  • Emotions and desires are part of the material field
  • Consciousness animating the field is different from the field itself
  • The self is not identified with mental and emotional states
