Every soul's birth has a purpose. It is defined by the vasanas accumulated over many lives, which need to be experienced and exhausted in the field of the world through the field of the body.
Lord Krishna explains this to Arjuna: 'This body is the field. The one who is conscious of this field is the 'knower' of the field.' For the inert body cannot function without the one who is 'conscious' of it, referred to here as the 'knower'.
The 'knower' is distinct from the body - 'field', and it has no attributes of anything related to or connected to the body, such as the mind, intellect, vasanas, and so on.
This attributeless 'knower', which is pure Consciousness, is the same in all. Knowing this universal presence of Consciousness and the field through which it expresses, is true knowledge!
