- In the 7th Chapter, Text 12 of Bhagavad Gita, Lord says “Know that all states of being – be they of goodness, passion or ignorance – are manifested by My energy. I am, in one sense, everything, but I am independent. I am not under the modes of material nature, for they, on the contrary, are within Me.
Here, Maataj has clearly explained that though the three modes of nature viz., Satva (Goodness), Rajo (Passion) and Tamo (Ignorance) have manifested from God, but still how HE is not influenced by these by quoting the example that as how the smaller circles inside a bigger circle are there within the bigger circle, but cannot influence the bigger circle, similarly, though all the three modes of nature viz., the mode of Goodness, Passion & Ignorance doesn’t affect the God.
In Chapter 7, Text 13 of Bhagavad Gita, Lord says that “Deluded by the three modes (goodness, passion and ignorance), the whole world does not know Me, who am above the modes and inexhaustible.
Here, Maataji explains that the whole world is enchanted by three modes of material nature and those who are bewildered by these three modes cannot understand that transcendental to this material nature is the Supreme Lord, Krishna…..
In Chapter 7, Text 14, Lord gives the SOLUTION as how to realize HIM, as how to reach HIM. Lord says “This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have SURRENDERed unto Me can easily cross beyond it”.
