Essays on the Gita -Sri Aurobindo
First Series : Chapter 22
Beyond the Modes of Nature
He remains even in action triguna tıta, beyond the gunas, free from the gunas, nistraigun.ya, he fulfils entirely at last the early injunction of the Gita, nistraigunyo bhava rjuna. He is indeed still the enjoyer of the gunas, as is the Brahman, though not limited by them, nirgun am gunabhoktr ca, unattached, yet all-supporting, even as is that Brahman, asaktam sarvabhrt: but the action of the gunas within him is quite changed; it is lifted above their egoistic character and reactions. For he has unified his whole being in the Purushottama, has assumed the divine being and the higher divine nature of becoming, madbha va, has unified even his mind and natural consciousness with the Divine, manmana maccittah. This change is the final evolution of the nature and the consummation of the divine birth, rahasyam uttamam. When it is accomplished, the soul is aware of itself as the master of its nature and, grown a light of the divine Light and will of the divine Will, is able to change its natural workings into a divine action.
