from Q&A with KnA“And he who serves Me with unswerving devotion (avyabhicāreṇa bhakti-yogena), crossing beyond these guṇas, becomes fit for becoming Brahman (brahma-bhūyāya kalpate).” Here is the method Arjuna asked for (14.21) — and it turns out to be bhakti. One does not cross the guṇas by wrestling them directly (that is only more rajas); one crosses them by unswerving devotion, which lifts the mind clean out of their field. And (14.27): “For I am the abode of Brahman (brahmaṇo hi pratiṣṭhā aham), the immortal and imperishable, the eternal Dharma and absolute bliss.” The chapter that began by dissecting bondage ends by pointing to the exit — and the exit is love. Devotion is the rope let down into the ocean of the guṇas, by which the swimmer is drawn up onto the changeless shore of Brahman.
