My Understanding : The universe reflects that the soul is the ultimate reason for all creation. This entirety is referred to as Brahma, who carries the universe as his womb. The material substance serves as this womb, signifying the formation of the earth, sun, moon, and all existence. From this cosmic womb, all living beings are born, their births determined by their past karmas. Similarly, physical bodies are born from the soul. The body serves as a vessel, while the soul manifests itself in every form. The Paramatma (Supreme Soul) resides in all beings and perceives everything. However, due to the illusion created by the Trigunas, we see individuals as separate. The Supreme Lord, in his divine play, created all life and transforms himself into countless forms. Just as the seed of a banyan tree inherently grows into a banyan tree, so too does the Supreme Lord manifest himself as all living beings. From the womb of Brahma, the source, the Supreme Lord assumes various forms, including that of humans, carrying the essence of the divine within.

My Understanding : Krishna says that a person who understands this wisdom unites with Krishna Bhagavan, becoming like a light within every being. Such a person attains divine qualities (Daiva Guna). Those who are aware of the Trigunas are freed from misery and rise to a divine state. They transcend the cycle of rebirth, recognizing that Trigunas are the cause of bondage in the material world. By understanding this, they break free from illusion and gain true knowledge and wisdom, liberating themselves from the materialistic world. Birth and death do not pertain to the soul; they are tied to the body. Trigunas are the root of this bondage. Once freed from this material attachment, a person surrenders entirely to God, realizing that the “ME” they seek is the divine presence within. The soul merges with God. The “ME” signifies the divine within. The soul, bound by Trigunas, enters the cycle of birth, which is the journey to liberation.

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.
