नान्यं गुणेभ्यः कर्तारं यदा द्रष्टानुपश्यति | गुणेभ्यश्च परं वेत्ति मद्भावं सोऽधिगच्छति
nānyaṃ guṇebhyaḥ kartāraṃ yadā draṣṭānupaśyati . guṇebhyaśca paraṃ vetti madbhāvaṃ so.adhigacchati
当见者（draṣṭā）看到除了古纳（Guna）之外别无行动者，并了知超越古纳（Guna）者时，他便证得我的本性（madbhāvaṃ）。
When the witness sees none other than the alities as the agent, and knows that which is superior [i.e. different from.] to the alities, he attains My nature.
至高自我（Supreme Self）绝不受古纳（Gunas）的污染。解脱的圣者会感叹：“我是古纳（Gunas）的见证者，我既非享乐者亦非行动者。古纳（Gunas）构成了一切行动的动力。我超越古纳（Gunas）。唯有古纳（Gunas）应对所有行动负责。我与古纳（Gunas）完全不同，我是纯粹的意识，不受古纳（Gunas）触及，我如同虚空。”当一个人获得启示或证得自我（Self）的知识时，当他认识到除了古纳（Gunas）——它们本身被转化为身体、感官及其对象——之外别无行动者时，当他知道唯有古纳（Gunas）在所有转化、所有状态和所有行动中成为行动者时，并且当他认识到超越古纳（Gunas）、作为古纳（Gunas）及其功能的寂静见证者的至高自我（Supreme Self）时，他便证得我的境界（解脱），即与我合一。他成为超越三古纳（Gunas）的古纳提塔（Gunatita）。
The Supreme Self is in no way contaminated by the alities. The liberated sage exclaims I am the witness of the alities. I am neither the enjoyer nor the doer. The alities form the motive power of all actions. I am beyond the Gunas. The Gunas alone are responsible for all actions. I am entirely distinct from the alities. I am pure consciousness. I cannot be touched by the alities. I am like the ether.When a man gets illumination or attains knowledge of the Self? when he realises that there is no agent except the Gunas which are themselves modified as the bodies? the senses and their objects? when he knows that it is the Gunas only that become the agent in all transformations? in all states and in all actions? and when he realises the Supreme Self Who is distinct from the Gunas? Who is the silent witness of the Gunas and their functions? he attains to My state (liberation)? i.e.? becomes identical with Me. He becomes a Gunatita? i.e.? one who has transcended the three Gunas.
