GUNATRAYAVIBHAGA - YOG

 
Arjuna. Oh,  my Lord! Which be the signs to know him that hath gone Past the Three Modes? How lived he? What way Leaded him safe beyond the threefold Modes?

Krishna. He who with equanimity surveys Luster of goodness, strife of passion, sloth Of ignorance, not angry if they are, Not wishful when they are not: he who sits A sojourner and stranger in their midst Unruffled, standing off, saying- serene- When troubles break, "These be the Qualities! He unto whom- self-centred- grief and joy Sound as one word; to whose deep-seeing eyes The clod, the marble, and the gold are one; Whose equal heart holds the same gentleness For lovely and unlovely things, firm-set, Well-pleased in praise and dispraise; satisfied With honour or dishonour; unto friends And unto foes alike in tolerance; Detached from undertakings,- he is named Surmounter of the Qualities!

And such- With single, fervent faith adoring Me, Passing beyond the Qualities, conforms To Brahma, and attains Me!

For I am That whereof Brahma is the likeness! Mine The Amrit is; and Immortality Is mine; and mine perfect Felicity!

HERE ENDETH CHAPTER XIV OF THE BHAGAVAD-GITA, Entitled "Gunatrayavibhagayog," Or "The Book of Religion by Separation from the Qualities."
