Verse 13

The Yoga of Knowledge and Realization

Deluded by the three modes, the whole world does not know Me, who am above the modes and inexhaustible.

Context & Meaning

The entire world is under the spell of the three guṇas. Pulled by desire (rajas), dulled by inertia (tamas), or lulled by comfortable virtue (sattva), beings fail to perceive the imperishable reality behind the show. The three modes are the veil; the Divine is what they conceal.

Ramanujacharya

Vishishtadvaita

Mohita — deluded — describes the fundamental condition of the unawakened soul. The Lord stands beyond all modal conditioning, eternal and inexhaustible, yet hidden by the very energy that emanates from Him.
