Bhagavad Gītā – Chapter 14 Notes

 

This chapter, along with chapter 17, examines the guṇas in depth.   It is the guṇas that bind ātman within the body. Krishna explains that the person who serves him with unswerving devotion can move beyond the influence of the guṇas.  Until this stage is reached, a person should cultivate and gravitate towards sattva.
