Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 13 verse 2

 Chapter 13 verse 2 

“The Supreme Divine Lord said: O Arjuna, this body is termed as kṣhetra (the field of activities), and the one who knows this body is called kṣhetrajña (the knower of the field) by the sages who discern the truth about both.” 

Bhagwan responds to Arjuna’s specific question about the different between field of activities and knower of the field. He says the field of activity is the body of the being itself or the material world itself. By extension, one can think of the field of activity as body, mind and intellect complex of all of us. The knower of the field is both the individual soul which is being referred here as kṣhetrajña but also the immutable Divine being who knows it all known as Bhagwan or paramatma or Brahman.
