The concept of the 'field' is universal. However, our inner tendencies (vasanas) influence our actions and reactions. The vasanas that make me act as human will not be the same in another species. For example, would a dog desire a rasgolla for dessert?
Lord Krishna explains the nature of the 'field' as encompassing the five great elements, egoism, intellect, the Unmanifest (prakriti), the ten organs and the five objects of the senses.
Additionally, Lord Krishna includes the mind, which is a collection of thoughts influenced by vasanas, as part of the field. It is this mind that continuously acts and reacts in the world.
He further mentions that the mind consists of desires, repulsion, happiness, and sorrow. In addition, the body and organs, consciousness, fortitude, and all their variations, are also part of the field.
