Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 14
Sleep can also be divided into two parts:-
Thus Tamoguna (mode of ignorance), binds a man through heedlessness, indolence and sleep i.e., which are stumbling blocks, to his mundane and spiritual progress. Sattva (mode of goodness), Rajas (mode of passion) and Tamas (mode of ignorance) bind a man (spirit). Out of the three, Sattva binds by attachment to happiness, and to knowledge, Rajas binds by attachment to actions, but in Tamas there is no need for any attachment, it automatically binds a man.
If a shiver, is not attached to happiness, and is not proud of knowledge, his happiness and knowledge, will lead him to a state, which transcends the three gunas. Similarly, actions and their fruit without attachment, will lead to attainment of the Supreme (Gita 3/19).
