Chapter 14 verse 20
“By transcending the three modes of material nature associated with the body, one becomes free from birth, death, old age, and misery, and attains immortality.”
The
immortal individual soul-jivatma gets engrossed in the 3 gunas and is bounded
to the material realm and cycle of birth, old age, misery and death. This
engagement happens due to association with body, mind, intellect and ego
complex through tamo, rajo and sattva gunas. The Vedas and smritis guide us how
to avoid rajasa and tamasa actions but even sattvic actions bind us and we need
to eventually overcome all material attachments and turn inward to the
immutable soul.
