त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन |
निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्त्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान् ||45||

The Vedas deal with the three modes of material nature. O Arjuna, transcend these modes, free yourself from dualities, and be established in the self.

  • Trai-gunya: Three modes of nature.
  • Nitya-sattva-sthah: Always situated in goodness.
  • Nirdvandva: Free from dualities.

Krishna advises Arjuna to transcend the three modes of material nature (goodness, passion, and ignorance) that bind individuals. He encourages Arjuna to remain steadfast, free from the dualities of life, and focus on the self. This is an appeal to move beyond worldly influences and distractions to attain spiritual equanimity and self-mastery.
