No one, not even the gods, is totally free from these three basic energies. It's a universal truth.

Commentary

No cap, everything is built from these three major vibes; it's like, the fabric of reality, you know? Whether you're chilling on Earth or vibing in the heavens with the gods, no one's escaping these three energies. It's like, can you have a shirt without threads? A human without bones? A mountain without rocks? No way. Everything is made of these three energies. They're the OG trinity, the source of everything, even the four main groups of people and their roles. This whole cycle of life, death, and rebirth? It's all about these three energies and our ignorance. Actions, their effects, and the results keep this cycle going. Only someone who's totally woke, who's reached enlightenment, can break free from this cycle. They cut the cord, ditch the drama, and chill in their true, divine self. It's like, total enlightenment.
