Lord Krishna Reveals How to Rise Above 3 GUNAS? Swami Mukundananda | Bhagavad Gita 2.45

Swami Mukundananda, while explaining how you can uplift yourself in Bhagavad Gita 2.45, states that the material energy binds the divine soul to the bodily conception of life, by its three constituent modes or gunas. These 3 gunas or modes of material nature are sattva (mode of goodness), rajas (mode of passion), and tamas (mode of ignorance). The relative proportion of the three modes varies for every individual, due their sanskārs (tendencies) from countless past lives, and accordingly, everyone has different inclinations and tendencies. The Vedic scriptures accept this disparity and give suitable instructions for all kinds of people. If the Vedas did not contain instructions for worldly-minded people, they would have gone further astray. So, the Vedas offer them material rewards for the performance of rigorous rituals, helping them rise from the mode of ignorance to passion, and from passion to goodness. Lord Krishna states that we should rise above the three modes to a state of pure spiritual consciousness. Freeing ourselves from dualities, eternally fixed in truth, and without concern for material gain and safety, we should strive to be situated in the self. Swami Mukundananda explains how we can rise above the 3 gunas and attain that state where we can access our inner joy. ------------------------------------------------------ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:03 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Sloka 45 Chanting 1:23 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Sloka 45 Translation by Swami Mukundananda 2:09 How to Rise above the 3 gunas?
