148: How the Gunas Condition Us

ok, lets’s give golfers a break :-) / Q: what do you have to give up for bhakti? A: suffering / asana & pranayama are for helping to transcending the gunas and bring the mind to God / satva guna is also a trap / goodness is illuminating - frees one from all malady & conditions one by a sense of happiness and knowledge - Bg. 14.6 / passion is all about desires & longings - conditions one to feel the need to work for a material result - Bg. 14.7 / Ignorance is the delusion of all embodied living entities -It conditions one by a sense of madness, laziness & sleep - Bg. 14.8 / the predicament of the soul / spontaneous human combustion
