Chapter 14 · Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga
Beyond the Gunas · Less Personal Blame
Meaning
"When the seer perceives no doer other than the gunas, and knows That which is beyond the gunas, one attains My nature."
Explanation
There's real freedom in seeing that much of what drives behavior is simply the play of these three qualities — it takes some of the harsh personal blame out of both your mistakes and others'.
Today's Life Lesson
When someone (including you) acts out of character today, remember it may just be the gunas shifting, not a fixed flaw.
