श्रीगुरुभ्यो नमः
In the Srimadbhagavatam, there is a brahmavidyA exposition by the Sanaka, etc. the Jnanis, addressed to King Prithu. The following verse 4.22.37 appears in that teaching:
tattvamnarendrajagatamathatasthusamca
dehendriyasu-dhisanatmabhir avrtanam
yah ksetravit-tapatayahrdi visvag avih
pratyakcakasti bhagavams tamavehi so 'smi
The meaning of the verse is:
tat — therefore; tvam — you; nara-indra — O best of kings; jagatam — of the moving; atha — therefore; tasthusam — the immovable;ca — also; deha — body; indriya — senses; asu — life air; dhisana — by consideration; atmabhih — self-realization; avrtanam — those who are covered in that way; yah — one who; ksetra-vit — knower of the field; tapataya — by controlling; hrdi — within the heart;visvak — everywhere; avih — manifest; pratyak — in the innermost recess of one's heart; cakasti — shining; bhagavan — the Supreme Personality of Godhead; tam — unto Him; avehi — try to understand; sah asmi — I am that.
०४२२०३७१ तत्त्वं नरेन्द्र जगतामथ तस्थुषां च ०४२२०३७२ देहेन्द्रियासुधिषणात्मभिरावृतानाम् ०४२२०३७३ यः क्षेत्रवित्तपतया हृदि विश्वगाविः ०४२२०३७४ प्रत्यक्चकास्ति भगवांस्तमवेहि सोऽस्मि The teaching is: The Consciousness that is at the foundation of all the manifest and unmanifest world, who is the Kshetrajna, the knower of the kshetram, the prakRti that has transformed itself as the seen/experienced universe, is the one that is known to everyone as one's own conscious self. One should realize that Knower of the prakRti (universe) as one's own Self, that is in the manner: 'I am that Kshetrajna, the Tattvam underlying this entire universe. Some salient points to be noted here are: कश्चिद्धीरः प्रत्यगात्मानमैक्षत आवृत्तचक्षुः अमृतत्वमिच्छन् ॥
The Creator Lord cursed/damned the sense organs to be outward-turned and therefore they always experience the inert world and never the Innermost Atman. Some rare, daring aspirant, with the resolve to attain the Immortal, withdraws his attention from the outside world and succeeds in realizing the pratyagAtman.
