मां च योऽव्यभिचारेण भक्तियोगेन सेवते । स गुणान्समतीत्यैतान्ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते ॥ २६ ॥
māṁ cha yo ’vyabhichāreṇa bhakti-yogena sevate sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate
Translation
And one who serves Me with unfailing devotion goes beyond these gunas and becomes fit for oneness with Brahman.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
और जो अव्यभिचारी भक्तियोग के द्वारा मेरी सेवा करता है, वह इन तीनों गुणों को भली प्रकार पार करके ब्रह्मभाव को प्राप्त होने योग्य हो जाता है।
Commentary
Here is the answer to Arjun's third question: how does one go beyond the gunas? Through avyabhichari bhakti, devotion that does not stray. Trying to escape the gunas by effort alone is like trying to lift oneself by one's own hair. Loving attachment to what lies beyond them draws one out naturally.
