14.26
मां च योऽव्यभिचारेण भक्तियोगेन सेवते ।
स गुणान्समतीत्यैतान्ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते
॥ १४=२६॥
māṁ ca yo'vyabhicāreṇa bhaktiyogena
sevate sa guṇān-samatītyaitān
brahmabhūyāya kalpate
One who engages in full devotional
service, who does not fall down in any
circumstance, at once transcends the
modes of material nature and thus
comes to the level of Brahman.
POWERFUL COGNITION
Through devotion to the Master one is able to transcend the three gunas or natural qualities and attain our true nature or cosmic consciousness.
14.27
ब्रह्मणो हि प्रतिष्ठाहममृतस्याव्ययस्य च ।
शाश्वतस्य च धर्मस्य सुखस्यैकान्तिकस्य च
॥ १४=२७ ॥
brahmaṇo hi pratiṣṭhāham
amṛtasyāvyayasya ca śāśvatasya ca
dharmasya sukhasyaikāntikasya ca
And I am the basis of Brahman, which is the rightful state of ultimate happiness, and which is immortal, imperishable and eternal.
POWERFUL COGNITION
The transcendental state beyond the three attributes of nature, guṇas, is Brahman, the ultimate Cosmic Consciousness, the ultimate space of Completion.
INTRODUCTION
Kṛṣṇa concludes the chapter by saying that the transcendental state beyond the three attributes of nature, guṇas, is Brahman, the ultimate Cosmic Consciousness, the ultimate space of Completion. He says you reach this through devotion. Kṛṣṇa speaks as Parabrahma Kṛṣṇa, the supreme energy and not as Vāsudeva Kṛṣṇa, the individual. He is in the expanded consciousness of Brahman, and beyond the three guṇas. He is the Source of the guṇas.
YOUR LEVEL OF COMPLETION DECIDES
What is the difference between
Parabrahma Kṛṣṇa (Ultimate
Consciousness) and Vāsudeva
Kṛṣṇa? In the case of an ordinary
human being, even though he has
the potential of Divinity, he has
not realized it. That is the
difference between you and an
Enlightened Master, an
Incarnation. Both of you are Divine
to the same extent. Yet you are
unaware of your Divinity, whereas
the Enlightened Master, the
Incarnation is fully aware of it.
