Chapter 14

गुणत्रयविभागयोग

Vibing with the Three Modes of Material Nature: The Ultimate Yoga

Krishna spills the tea on the three gunas (modes) of material nature: goodness, passion, and ignorance. Everything in this material world is totally influenced by these vibes. He breaks down each guna's characteristics, their origins, and how they mess with our heads. Then, he gives the lowdown on what it's like to be totally beyond those modes. The chapter ends with Krishna reminding us that pure devotion to the divine is the ultimate power move, helping us transcend all that drama.

Verse 1

The OG Lord said, "Yo, I'm dropping some major knowledge bombs on you, the ultimate knowledge, the GOAT. All the sages who got this knowledge? They're straight-up ascended, bruh."

Verse 2

Yo, peeps who, like, fully commit to this knowledge and become one with me? They ain't born during creation, and they def don't stress during the big reset. It's all good.

Verse 3

My womb? It's like, *the* Brahma, the ultimate source, fam. I drop the germ in there, and *bam*, Arjuna, that's how everything gets made.

Verse 4

Yo, Arjuna, every single thing that pops off in any womb, ever? Brahma's the womb, and I'm the daddy who plants the seed.

Verse 5

Yo, Arjuna, these three major vibes—sattva, rajas, and tamas—they're totally messing with your physical form, even though it's indestructible. They're like, trapping you.

Verse 6

Yo, out of all the vibes, Sattva is, like, the purest, most lit one, but it's also a total mind trap, no cap. It's all about getting you hooked on happiness and knowledge, making you obsessed with being the best. It's a total flex, but it's also a major bind.

Verse 7

Yo, Arjuna, Rajas is all about that passionate energy, that thirst for more, that major attachment. It's a total vibe killer, binding you to the grind because of your obsession with actions.

Verse 8

Yo, Arjuna, Tamas is born from ignorance, it's a total mindf*** that traps everyone. It's all about being careless, lazy, and always sleeping.

Verse 9

Sattva's all about that good vibe, that happiness, Rajas is all about the action, Arjuna, but Tamas? Total knowledge blackout. It's all about being clueless.

Verse 10

Okay, Arjuna, listen up: First, Sattva's the GOAT, totally dominating Rajas and Tamas. Then Rajas is king, crushing Sattva and Tamas. Finally, Tamas reigns supreme, owning Sattva and Rajas.

Verse 11

When your brain is lit and your senses are all on point, that's Sattva dominating, no cap.

Verse 12

Arjuna, major thirst, always going, starting stuff, super restless, and craving more? That's Rajas taking over, my dude.

Verse 13

Arjuna, when Tamas is dominating, it's all dark vibes, no cap. Total inactivity, major brain fog, and straight-up delusion. It's a whole mood.

Verse 14

If you're all about that Sattva life and you die, bro, you're going to the cleanest, most fire places in the universe.

Verse 15

Yo, if you die with Rajas on your mind, you're reborn into a life of total go-getter energy. But if you die with Tamas vibes, you're coming back as a total airhead.

Verse 16

They're sayin' good deeds are all sattvic and pure, no cap. Rajas actions? That's pain city, pop off. Tamas actions? Total knowledge blackout.

Verse 17

Sattva's all about that knowledge, fam. Rajas? It's all about that endless greed. Tamas? It's straight-up ignorance and delusion. No cap.

Verse 18

Sattva peeps ascend, Rajasic peeps are mid, and Tamasic peeps are totally descending.

Verse 19

When you see that it's all about the Gunas, no other agent, and you know what's beyond them, you're straight-up one with the Supreme Being.

Verse 20

Yo, when someone escapes those three modes that make up your whole existence, they're totally free from birth, death, aging, and all that drama. It's immortality, straight up.

Verse 21

Arjuna said, "Yo Krishna, what are the low-key signs of someone who's totally bypassed the three gunas? What's their whole deal, and how do they even *do* that?"

Verse 22

The OG Lord said, "Yo, when it's all light, action, and chill vibes, they ain't hating, and they ain't craving it when it's gone."

Verse 23

Yo, this person's sitting there, totally unfazed by all the good/bad vibes. They know what's up, they're all about themselves, and ain't moving for nothin'.

Verse 24

Yo, whoever's chill af with good times and bad times, stays in their own lane, and thinks a rock is the same as gold? That's the one. They're all good with their besties and their haters, and don't even sweat the praise or the hate. They're solid.

Verse 25

Yo, whoever's totally unbothered by clout or hate, same with friends and enemies, and doesn't sweat the small stuff? That's someone who's totally transcended the duality, for real.

Verse 26

Anyone who's, like, *obsessed* with me—unwavering devotion, no cap—is gonna transcend all that duality stuff and become one with the Brahman. No biggie.

Verse 27

I'm the ultimate vibe, the immortal, unbreakable, forever Dharma, and total bliss.
