Chapter 14 verse 9
“Sattva binds one to material happiness; rajas conditions the soul toward actions; and tamas clouds wisdom and binds one to delusion.”
All
of the 3 gunas are binding to material nature by one way or the other. Sattva
binds one to goodness and knowledge and that could be delusional if proper wisdom
is not present and life is not directed towards spiritual path. Rajas bind one
to action towards a particular goal and that could take one away from
equanimity and poise. Tamas clouds wisdom and binds to heedlessness and sloth.
Hence all 3 gunas have a way to derail our path toward enlightenment.
