Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 13 verse 13

Chapter 13 verse 13 

“I shall now reveal to you that which ought to be known, and by knowing which, one attains immortality. It is the beginning less Brahman, which lies beyond existence and non-existence.” 

Arjuna had asked the question- what is true knowledge at the beginning of this chapter. Bhagwan wants to now unequivocally answer that question. He starts by perking the interest up by stating that Brahman is both without beginning and end, it is also beyond existence and non-existence. We had earlier seen that Bhagwan is the personal form of that entity for devotees or Bhaktas; paramatma is the Supreme entity all pervading both in the universe and inside as our individual soul and Brahman is the Supreme entity which is in the formless, attribute less form known to the wise only-Jnanis. The Supreme Lord is accessible to all kinds of human states the way we approach him- through knowledge, devotion, discipline or selfless effort.
