Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 14 verse 19

 Chapter 14 verse 19 

“When wise persons see that in all works there are no agents of action other than the three guas, and they know me to be transcendental to these guas, they attain my divine nature. 

What is divine ordained vision? The wise person who can see that all aspects of material existence is a direct result of the 3 gunas manifesting through the being and other beings in the universe, is said to have divine ordained vision. They are able to see that supreme entity is beyond these 3 gunas and the material nature of things and reflects the spiritual essence of the universe. They who see this, attains HIS divine nature. Years ago, I used to wonder why one had to transcend even sattva guna. It makes sense to transcend rajas and tamo gunas but why sattva guna as well. Sattva guna still binds one to the body, mind, intellect, and ego complex and causes action which is expecting a particular outcome even if the outcome desired is for the benefit of nature and universe. It is still an attachment even though it is a relatively good one.
