śhrī-bhagavān uvācha

My Understanding : There are three gunas: Rajo Guna, Tamo Guna, and Sattva Guna. Through these gunas, one can perceive the Supreme God. Therefore, it is essential to understand what lies behind these gunas. The force that prevents us from forgetting our true nature is called Supreme Wisdom. Surrendering to the three gunas means embracing their qualities—irritation, anger, sorrow, infatuation, disgust, and so on. The world is absorbed into these gunas, which is why many people are unaware of them. A person who is aware of the three gunas gains control over their anger and irritation. They approach everything with patience and silence. This silence comes from the conscience, not from words. The saints embody this silence.
