Chapter 14: Guṇa Traya Vibhāg Yog

My Understanding : Krishna explained that a person’s character is separate from their true self, and one must understand that they are not defined by their character. He also spoke of the fluctuations caused by the three gunas, emphasizing that the gunas are the source of these varying traits and behaviors. No one should view the gunas as something separate or unrelated to themselves. The true, inner self is Brahmaprajna, the divine consciousness, which lies beyond the influence of the gunas.
