LORD KRISHNA SAYS ; 'When the seer (wise ) perceives no agent other than the modes and knows himself beyond these modes, he enters into MY BEING. Having transcended the three modes out of which the body is produced and freed from birth, death, old age and sorrow, he enjoys immortality. ' ( Gita-14:19-20 )
'When the light which is born of Sattva, or activity which is born of Rajas, or delusion which is born of Tamas are though present but are felt as no aversions, and when these are absent, then there is no longing for them, such one is sitting like a witness, and is not moved by the modes. Such one knowing that the modes operate among the modes, remains firmly established in the Self and is never shaken. Such one is alike in pleasure and pain, having patience is established in the Self, regards a clod of earth, a stone, and a piece of gold as equal in value; receives both pleasant and unpleasant things in the same spirit and views censure and praise alike. Remains the same in honour and dishonour, is equal to friend and foe and has renounced the sense of doership ----he is said to have risen above the modes (Gunas). He, who worships ME with an exclusive devotion transcending the three Gunas becomes eligible for attaining BRAHMA. '
(Gita–14:21-26)
He becomes eligible, for I AM the abode (Base) of BRAHMA, of IMMORTALITY, of ETERNAL VIRTUE, and of ABSOLUTE BLISS viz.,I AM CALLED BY THESE DIFFERENT NAMES.' (Gita-14:27)
'HARI OM' “AMEN”

*The Gunas, born of Prakriti
The three Gunas and the four motivations of life, and are the intrinsic qualities of Prakriti.
Prakriti is the universal energy of primary matter or Nature.
The three Gunas are Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, and they are often associated with creation (Brahma), preservation (Vishnu), and destruction (Shiva) respectively. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva make up the Hindu Trinity or Trimurti, and with their association with the three Gunas we can see how they represent the three stages that matter, or Nature, goes through in her continuous cycle of life.
Sattva translates as essence. When someone or something is sattvic it has the qualities of purity, equilibrium, harmony, and goodness.
Rajas translates as air or vapor. Being rajasic has the qualities of activity, movement, and passion.
Tamas translates as darkness, ignorance, and illusion. It is also a term for the obstruction of the Sun and Moon during eclipses. Tamasic qualities indicate sluggishness, inertia, and lethargy.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna explains the Gunas to Arjuna in great detail:
It is the three gunas born of prakriti – sattva, rajas, and tamas – that bind the immortal Self to the body.
Sattva – pure, luminous, and free from sorrow – binds us with attachment to happiness and wisdom. Rajas is passion, arising from selfish desire and attachment. These bind the Self with compulsive action.
Tamas, born of ignorance, deludes all creatures through heedlessness, indolence, and sleep.
Sattva binds us to happiness; rajas binds us to action. Tamas, distorting our understanding, binds us to delusion
