Here Kṛṣṇa assures, ‘Those situated
in the mode of goodness gradually
go upward to the higher planes—
ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti sattva-sthā
(14.18).’ A continuous tireless
completion process creates the basis
for higher level practices, for higher
planes.
We have talked about the saṁskāras
or root thought patterns that are
buried in our unconscious. They
drive us through one of these
attributes (guṇas). Conscious,
logical and analytical procedures
cannot easily identify them, let
alone remove or repair them. That
is why so-called catharsis processes
that aim to rid us of negative
emotions give only temporary
relief. The basic negativity remains
buried.
