Chapter-14
The Three Qualities
Then all talk about the conquest of gunas ceases, because the gunas also cease, when both of us unite in close embrace. In short, O discerning Arjuna, this is what is known as the Brahmic state. He who worships Me with devotion, alone attains to it. I would add that the Brahmic state weds my devotee, who is endowed with the above-mentioned characteristics. Just as the flowing water of the Ganga has no other destination but the sea, so whoever serves Me, with the vision of knowledge, becomes a great devotee (literally a jewel in the diadem of the Brahmic state) (396-400). This Brahmic state is also known as the sayujya mukti (i.e. absorption of the Self in the Supreme Self or the fourth aim of human existence). My worship is the ladder by which you can reach Me. But do not think that I am different from the means of attaining Me. Do not entertain the idea that you are distinct from Brahman. |
