Origin & History
Source: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14, Verse 26
Author: Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva)
The fourteenth chapter, the Yoga of the Division of the Three Gunas (Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga), explains how sattva, rajas and tamas bind the embodied soul. Having described these modes and the marks of one who has gone beyond them, Krishna reveals the means of transcendence in this verse — unswerving devotional service to him, which lifts the seeker above the gunas to oneness with Brahman.
