Origin & History
Source: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14, Verse 27
Author: Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva)
In the fourteenth chapter, Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga, Krishna describes the three gunas — sattva, rajas and tamas — that bind the soul, and the marks of one who transcends them. He teaches that such a person, by unswerving devotion, becomes fit to merge in Brahman. This concluding verse reveals that He Himself is the foundation of that immortal Brahman and of absolute, eternal bliss.
