Guna Traya Vibhaga Yoga
गुणत्रयविभागयोग
In plain words
Just as a river is absorbed in the ocean so also he who has while still alive gone beyond the alities which form the seed from which all bodies have sprung and of which they are composed is absorbed in Me. He ever enjoys the bliss of the Eternal. He attains release or Moksha.
Translation
14.20 The embodied self, crossing beyond these three Gunas which arise in the body, and freed from birth, death, age and pain, attains immortality.
Meaning
Just as a river is absorbed in the ocean so also he who has while still alive gone beyond the alities which form the seed from which all bodies have sprung and of which they are composed is absorbed in Me. He ever enjoys the bliss of the Eternal. He attains release or Moksha. He attains to My Being. When the Lord said that the wise man crosses beyond the three alities and attains immortality. Arjuna became inspired with the desire of learning more about it. Just as he has asked a estion about the sage of steady wisdom in chapter II verse 54 he now asks Lord Krishna about the characteristics of a sage who has crossed over the three alities. How does he act What is his conduct or behaviour How has he gone beyond the alities
