The
Three Modes of Nature and Beyond
(12) The modes of
sattva, tamas and rajas so relate to the individual soul

material effects [see also B.G. 4: 14].
(28) Beneficial, pure
and attained effortlessly is food considered as of the
mode of goodness, [strongly] catering to the

Jn'âna
Yoga or the Denomination and the Real
(19) Just as gold,
before being wrought, in the middle being utilized, and

happiness.

four-armed personality fell he, afraid of having
committed an offense, with his head down at the feet of
the Enemy of the Asuras.

the sky, by mortals cannot be ascertained, could likewise
the gods not trace the path of Krishna.
