नान्यं गुणेभ्यः कर्तारं यदा द्रष्टानुपश्यति । गुणेभ्यश्च परं वेत्ति मद्भावं सोऽधिगच्छति ॥ १९ ॥
nānyaṁ guṇebhyaḥ kartāraṁ yadā draṣhṭānupaśhyati guṇebhyaśh cha paraṁ vetti mad-bhāvaṁ so ’dhigachchhati
Translation
When the seer sees no doer other than the gunas, and knows what is beyond the gunas, that one attains My being.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
जब द्रष्टा गुणों के अतिरिक्त किसी अन्य को कर्ता नहीं देखता, और गुणों से परे (तत्त्व) को जानता है, तब वह मेरे भाव को प्राप्त होता है।
Commentary
Here the chapter turns from describing the gunas to going beyond them. The first step is seeing clearly that the gunas are doing the acting (as in 3.28 and 13.29), and the second is knowing the one who lies beyond them. Liberation begins when one stops identifying with the play of nature.
