Translation

O Panginoon, Ikaw ang sukdulang Kaluluwa ng mga elemento, ng mga tanmatra, ng mga pandama, ng prana, at ng isip, talino at kamalayan. Sa Iyong kaayusan, ang munting kaluluwa ay nagkakamaling kumapit sa tatlong guna kaya natatakpan ang pagdama sa tunay na sarili. Nagpupugay kami sa Iyo—sa Walang Hanggan, sa pinakamaselan, sa di-nagbabago at lubos na nakaaalam—na nagpapahintulot sa iba’t ibang pananaw at siyang lakas ng kahulugan at ng mga salitang nagpapahayag nito.

FAQs

What does the Srimad Bhagavatam say about realizing the Self beyond the three guṇas?

This verse teaches that the Lord is the inner Self of all faculties, yet He is hidden when consciousness is bound by identification with the three guṇas; true realization comes through inner awakening and devotion.

Why did the wives of Kāliya offer philosophical prayers to Kṛṣṇa?

Seeing Kṛṣṇa’s supremacy while their husband was being punished, they surrendered with hymns describing Him as the indwelling Self, seeking mercy and protection through devotion and right understanding.

Practical application of ‘not identifying with the guṇas’ in modern life?

Observe thoughts, emotions, and impulses as guṇa-driven movements of mind and body, and anchor identity in service to the Lord—reducing ego-reactivity and increasing clarity and devotion.
