INTRODUCTION

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

Kṛṣṇa explains the nature of one who has transcended the three guṇas, one who has gone beyond his natural attributes, one who has completed with his root patterns. He explains what we need to do to become a triguṇa rahita, to become liberated from the influence of the three guṇas. One who is beyond the three guṇas is unaffected by their play. He is beyond the play of emotions. Whatever happens is right for him. Success and failure mean the same. Friend and foe make no difference. Poverty or richness has no influence.

Illustration of Lord Kṛṣṇa

Such an attitude of
total detachment
requires one thing:
complete trust.
When we trust that
whatever happens is
what needs to
happen and we
accept whatever
happens as it arises,
we are totally
detached. Then
whatever happens
will be right. Such
trust can only come
from surrender.
