Kṛṣṇa describes the internal state of a liberated soul. Such a person does not hate the presence of clarity (Sattva), activity (Rajas), or confusion (Tamas) when they arise in his mind. Similarly, he doesn’t crave them when they go away. He is an impartial observer of his own psychology. He has no ‘favorite’ mode. This is the definition of mental freedom. Usually, we are happy when we feel smart (Sattva), stressed when we are busy (Rajas), and depressed when we are confused (Tamas). But the Gunatita soul realizes: “These are just material frequencies passing through the brain.” He watches them like a person watching clouds. He knows he is the sky, not the clouds. It teaches us ‘non-resistance’. Instead of fighting our moods, we should simply observe them with detachment. By not giving power to the modes through hate or craving, we stop their influence over us. Kṛṣṇa is showing us that the secret to peace is not changing the ‘weather’ of our mind, but changing our relationship to it.
