Bhagavad Gita CH 15
The Supreme Self
With imagery taken from the Katha Upnishad, Lord Krishna portrays the entire universe as the Asvattha or pipal tree with roots above and branches below. In this chapter Krishna urges you to cut apart this firmly rooted tree of the material world with the weapon of detachment.
Krishna expounds the nature of Brahman and how it pervades the manifested world. He describes Brahman as a trinity of ksara, aksara and Uttama Purusa -- perishable, imperishable and the Supreme Spirit.
