The Bhagavad Gita1476
alike and equally valuable—he who appeareth the same amidst like and
dislike; and who regardeth praise and blame with equal emotion, or lack of
emotion—he who is ever the same in honor or disgrace—he who knoweth
no difference between treatment of friend or foe—he who hath forsaken
all ambition for enterprises or undertakings of a worldly kind—verily hath
such a one surpassed and passed beyond the effects of the Three Gunas, or
Qualities, and escaped from them.
“And he, my follower and devotee, who hath devoted himself entirely
to Me, and who serveth Me with exclusive heart and mind—he having
completely passed beyond the qualities, is surely fitted to be blended with
the One.
“Yea, verily, sayeth I unto thee, Arjuna, that I am the Symbol and the Reality
of Immortality; the Eternal; the Absolute Justice; the Bliss Unending.”
thus endeth part xiv of the bhagavad gita, which part is called “the
three gunas or qualities.”
