Chapter 14 · Verse 19
Guna Traya Vibhaga Yoga
गुणत्रयविभागयोग
In plain words
The Supreme Self is in no way contaminated by the alities. The liberated sage exclaims I am the witness of the alities. I am neither the enjoyer nor the doer.
Translation
14.19 When the seer beholds no agent of action other than the Gunas, and knows what transcends the Gunas, he attains to My state.
Meaning
The Supreme Self is in no way contaminated by the alities. The liberated sage exclaims I am the witness of the alities. I am neither the enjoyer nor the doer. The alities form the motive power of all actions. I am beyond the Gunas. The Gunas alone are responsible for all actions. I am entirely distinct from the alities. I am pure consciousness. I cannot be touched by the alities. I am like the ether. When a man gets illumination or attains knowledge of the Self when he realises that there is no agent except the Gunas which are themselves modified as the bodies the senses and their objects when he knows that it is the Gunas only that become the agent in all transformations in all states and in all actions and when he realises the Supreme Self Who is distinct from the Gunas. Who is the silent witness of the Gunas and their functions he attains to My state (liberation) i.e. becomes identical with Me. He becomes a Gunatita i.e. one who has transcended the three Gunas.
Word by word
न not अन्यम् other गुणेभ्यः than the Gunas कर्तारम् agent यदा when द्रष्टा the seer अनुपश्यति beholds गुणेभ्यः than the alities च and परम् higher वेत्ति knows मद्भावम् My Being सः he अधिगच्छति,attains to.
