14. Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga: Yoga of the Division
of the three Gunas
Knowing the science of the soul, the knowledge of the
three cosmic qualities is of prime importance as it holds the entire universe
and all creations under its control. Krishna reveals three Cosmic Nature as
it’s the primal source and origin of the entire creation and all things in it.
The individual soul is also bound to the body by these three qualities present
in the cosmic nature. Brilliantly Krishna brings about creation through the help of his Nature ( Prakriti) with the
threefold qualities
.
In chapter
fourteen, Krishna explains that material nature is constituted of three modes
(guṇas) — sattva (goodness), rajas (passion) and tamas (ignorance).For
a focused mind and controlled senses, he describes the qualities that a true
devotee must-have. You have a choice to make if you desire to know Krishna.
Krishna
as a metaphor for Cosmos, creation preservation and destruction holds the entire
universe together, for Krishna is the originator of all that
exists and has a power to evoke human emotions. The three modes
are the key to understand cosmic harmony. This is the ultimate arrangement
of Krishna for all that is in the universe he preserves. When we refer to
cosmic consciousness, it is none other than Krishna.
How
are the three modes comparable to the Universe?
Depending
on which guna dominates, an entity will have different challenges. Looking at
the billions and billions of stars in the Milky Way, one wonders their
existence. They all can’t be possessing one mode for its designated life span if so there will be no synchronization with each other. The three cosmic
qualities have been arranged in an orderly manner so that creation,
preservation, and destruction are in command for the existing universe. The three
cosmic natures create the true representation of the cyclic universe in
existence with the replicating life having the same formula. Aum
and the self-replicating Universe https://sunsoundaum.blogspot.com/2018/
14. Me and My
Gita
This chapter describes
the nature of the material energy, which is the source of the body and its
elements, and is thus the origin of both mind and matter. Krishna explains that
material nature is constituted of three attitudes (temperaments) good, bad and
the ugly
In chapter fourteen, Krishna wants Arjuna to know that
the three attitudes of nature are the steering factors of the material body.
Krishna explains the benefits and drawbacks of the three attitudes good, bad
and ugly. (The triple gunas, sattva, rajas and tamas- goodness, passion,
and ignorance)
We make
statements and decisions to be politically or socially correct while hiding the
truth, it’s always a dilemma! In the eyes of society you could be the ugly
one but in fact, with the theories of truth and action, you are the good guy.
- You have a choice to make, who you want to be, a good guy, a bad guy or the ugly one?
- Do you know the good, bad and ugly attitudes of your mind and body?
- Did you have a choice or were they inculcated by desires and the family?
- Now that you are aware of it, would you meditate on solving the disturbing ones?
- One needs at least 40 days to implement a new mindset. If you have extended the 30 days of Shravan, congratulations - you have the will of a disciplined Yogi.
