Bhagavad Gita 14.19

नान्यं गुणेभ्यः कर्तारं यदा द्रष्टानुपश्यति।गुणेभ्यश्च परं वेत्ति मद्भावं सोऽधिगच्छति॥

nānyaṁ guṇebhyaḥ kartāraṁ yadā draṣhṭānupaśhyati guṇebhyaśh cha paraṁ vetti mad-bhāvaṁ so ’dhigachchhati

Translation

When the Seer perceiveth no agent other than the qualities, and knoweth That which is higher than the qualities, he entereth into My Nature.

What it means

When the seer perceives no agent other than the gunas, and knows what is beyond the gunas, that one enters into My nature. The decisive sight: only qualities act. Behind the machinery, the witness steps free.

Try this today

The liberating perception: watching the three operate without mistaking any of them for yourself.

Something to reflect on

Can I watch my three modes operate without being any of them?
