About this episode
Taught by Swami Sarvapriyananda, this episode is part of a series of talks that unfold the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of the Bhagavad Gita, "The Song of God". Chapter 14 is devoted to an understanding of the Gunatreya Vibhaga Yoga, or the three qualities/components of Maya. The entire universe is created by a projection of the three gunas - satva, rajas, and tamas. Understanding the science of the three gunas and how we can apply it to our lives is the focus of Chapter 14. However, Sri Krishna explains that while the three Gunas comprehensively describe human nature, transcending the three Gunas through knowledge and remaining steadfast in your true nature as Atman in this body, and in this life, is the doorway to infinity and leads to oneness with God.In this episode, Swami Sarvapriyananda explains verses 21 and 22 of Chapter 14.-------Chapter 14, Verse 21?????? ???? |??????????????????????????????? ???? ????? |???????: ??? ?????????????????????????? || 21||arjuna uv?chakair li?gais tr?n gu??n et?n at?to bhavati prabhokim ?ch?ra? katha? chait?ns tr?n gu??n ativartate?
