Kṛṣṇa describes the power of the knowledge of the three modes. He says that by taking shelter of this wisdom, a soul attains His own transcendental nature (‘Sādharmyam’). Once established in this state, the soul is no longer part of the material cycle; he is not born at the time of creation, nor is he disturbed at the time of dissolution. ‘Sādharmyam’ doesn’t mean becoming God, but attaining the same *quality* as God—eternal, full of knowledge, and blissful. The liberated soul exits the cosmic ‘flicker’ of Big Bangs and Big Crunches. While the entire material universe appears and disappears like a dream, the self-realized soul remains steady in the spiritual sky. He is beyond the reach of time. This provides the ultimate motivation for spiritual practice. We are seeking an ‘Unshakable State’. By understanding how the modes of nature work, we can detach from them and find our home in the Eternal. Kṛṣṇa is promising a life that is so secure that even the end of the universe cannot touch it. It is the ultimate insurance against the fear of death.
