Jnana Vijnana Yoga
ज्ञानविज्ञानयोग
In plain words
Persons of this world are deluded by the three alities of Nature or Maya. Affection attachment and infatuated love are all modifications of these alities. On account of delusion created by these three alities they are not able to break the worldly ties and to turn the mind towards the Supreme Soul the Lord of the three alities.
Translation
7.13 The entire universe is deluded by these three states originating from the Gunas (of Prakrti), and fails to recognise Me, who am beyond them and immutable.
Meaning

Avyayam Immutable or unchangeable or inexhaustible or imperishable. The Self is of one homogeneous essence. It has not got the six changes or modifications (Shad Bhava Vikaras) which the body has viz. existence birth growth modification decay and death. (Cf. VII.25)
