Whatever forms are born come from the womb of Brahma, the great creator of nature. And I am the seed-giving father. 14:4 |

Purity, passion and inertia—sattva, rajas, and tamas—are the three qualities of nature that seemingly limit the imperishable Self to a limited experience in the body. 14:5
Work done in sattva brings purity; work done in rajas brings suffering; while work done in tamas bears the fruit of ignorance.
When one sees no doer other than the gunas and knows that which is higher than the gunas, he comes into my Being. |

The real form of the tree of samsara is not perceived in the world—neither its beginning and end, nor its existence. Cut down this firmly rooted tree with the strong axe of detachment. Then seek total refuge in that primeval Purusha, where there is no return to the projections streaming forth from the world of change. |

Striving with determination, true seekers come to see the Self within. But those whose minds remain impure and unintelligent never see. 15:11
As I transcend the perishable and am higher than the imperishable, therefore I am called the supreme Spirit, Purushottamah, in the world and in the Veda. |
