## Resource

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches verses 23-25 from the fourteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks by Swami Sarvapriyananda on the Bhagavad Gita, 'the Song of God,' unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta. Chapter 14 is devoted to understanding the Gunatreya Vibhaga Yoga, or the three qualities/components (gunas) of Maya. Swami Sarvapriyananda explains that other than the Atma, everything in nature is the play of the three gunas. This insight and transcending the play of the three gunas is the doorway to infinity. __________ Chapter 14, verse 23 उदासीनवदासीनो गुणैर्यो न विचाल्यते | गुणा वर्तन्त इत्येवं योऽवतिष्ठति नेङ्गते || 23|| udāsīna-vad āsīno guṇair yo na vichālyate guṇā vartanta ity evaṁ yo ’vatiṣhṭhati neṅgate ⧫ He who rests like one indifferent and is not disturbed by the gunas, who realizes that the gunas alone function is steady and does not waver. Chapter 14, verse 24 समदु:खसुख: स्वस्थ: समलोष्टाश्मकाञ्चन: | तुल्यप्रियाप्रियो धीरस्तुल्यनिन्दात्मसंस्तुति: || 24|| sama-duḥkha-sukhaḥ sva-sthaḥ sama-loṣhṭāśhma-kāñchanaḥ tulya-priyāpriyo dhīras tulya-nindātma-sanstutiḥ ⧫ Alike in pleasure and pain, self-abiding regarding a clod of earth, a stone, and gold as of equal worth, calm and the same toward agreeable and disagreeable objects, and the same to praise and blame bestowed on him. Chapter 14, verse 25 मानापमानयोस्तुल्यस्तुल्यो मित्रारिपक्षयो: | सर्वारम्भपरित्यागी गुणातीत: स उच्यते || 25|| mānāpamānayos tulyas tulyo mitrāri-pakṣhayoḥ sarvārambha-parityāgī guṇātītaḥ sa uchyate ⧫ The same in honor and dishonor, the same toward friend and foe, habituated to renounce all actions, such a person is said to have transcended the three gunas.
