About this listen

The source, a dialogue between the Supreme Personality of Godhead (Krishna) and Arjuna, explains the three modes of material nature: goodness, passion, and ignorance. These modes influence all living entities, shaping their experiences and actions. Goodness leads to knowledge, happiness, and spiritual progress, while passion fuels desire, attachment, and material pursuits. Ignorance manifests as delusion, inertia, and a downward spiral. The text stresses that transcendence from these modes is achievable through devotional service to the Supreme Lord, allowing one to break free from the cycle of birth, death, and suffering.
