अध्याय दुसरा

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

तिहीं गुणीं आवृत I हे वेद जाण निभ्रांत I म्हणोनि उपनिषदादि समस्त I सात्विक ते II 256 II
येर रजतमात्मक I जेथ निरूपिजे कर्मादिक I जें केवळ स्वर्गसूचक I धनुर्धरा II 257 II
म्हणोनि तूं जाण I हें सुखदुःखांसीच कारण I एथ झणें अंतःकरण I रिगों देसी II 258 II
तूं गुणत्रयातें अव्हेरीं I मी माझें हें न करीं I एक आत्मसुख अंतरीं I विसंब क्षणीं II 259 II

"Lord Krishna said to Arjun, the three gunas Sattva, Raja and Tama are present in everyone and everything. The Vedas are too not an exception. The Vedas are generally considered to have two parts, a part presenting the rituals and the part revealing the wisdom of the Vedas. The Upanishads reveal the underlying truth of the Vedas and therefore considered to belong to the Sattva Gun. Apart from this the ritualistic karma like yadnya meant for the gratification of heavenly worldly pleasures all belong to Raja and Tama Gun. They lead to sufferings. And therefore transcend the three Gunas and get rid of “I, Me and Mine” at the earliest. Let all your thrust be on attaining the ecstasy of Self."
