Кто равен в почёте и бесчестии, кто одинаков к стороне друга и врага, кто отказался от всех начинаний, — тот называется превзошедшим гуны.
He who is the same under honour and dishonour, who is eally disposed both towards the side of the friend and of the foe, who has renounced all enterprise,-he is said to have gone beyond the alities.
Мудрец, превзошедший гуны, сохраняет уравновешенность ума как в почёте, так и в бесчестии. Он одинаково относится к друзьям и врагам, не поддаваясь влиянию двойственностей. Отказавшись от всех действий, мотивированных желанием плодов, он пребывает в своей истинной природе как Абсолютное Существование-Знание-Блаженство. Эти качества являются признаками того, что он преодолел три гуны.
He keeps a balanced mind in honour and dishonour. He is the same to friend and foe. He is not affected by the dual throng. He has risen above the Gunas. He rests in his own essential nature as ExistenceKnowledgeBliss Absolute. He abids in his own Self. He is a Gunatita (one who has transcended the alities of Nature) who is not affected by the play of the alities. He keeps an even outlook amidst changes. He maintains a clam eilibrium.He abandons all actions that can bring visible or invisible fruits or results but he does actions that are necessary for the bare maintenance of his body. The alities described in verses 23? 24 and 25? such as indifference? etc.? are the means for attaining liberation. They represent the ideal that you should have before you. The aspirant should cultivate them. But one attains knowledge of the Self when he abides in his own true nature. These attributes form part and parcel of his nature and serve as marks to indicate that he has crossed beyond the three alities.The Lord gives in the following verse the answer to the third estion of Arjuna How does one go beyond the three alities
