Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches verses 26-27 from the fourteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks by Swami Sarvapriyananda on the Bhagavad Gita, 'the Song of God,' unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta.Chapter 14 is devoted to understanding the Gunatreya Vibhaga Yoga, or the three qualities/components (gunas) of Maya.

This insight, and transcending the play of the three gunas, is the doorway to infinity.________________Chapter 14, verse 26मां च योऽव्यभिचारेण भक्तियोगेन सेवते |स गुणान्समतीत्यैतान्ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते || 26||māṁ cha yo ’vyabhichāreṇa bhakti-yogena sevatesa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate⧫ He who serves me alone through the unswerving yoga of devotion transcends the three gunas and becomes fit for the state of Brahman.Chapter 14, verse 27ब्रह्मणो हि प्रतिष्ठाहममृतस्याव्ययस्य च |शाश्वतस्य च धर्मस्य सुखस्यैकान्तिकस्य च || 27||brahmaṇo hi pratiṣhṭhāham amṛitasyāvyayasya chaśhāśhvatasya cha dharmasya sukhasyaikāntikasya cha⧫ For I am the embodiment of Brahman of immutable immortality, of the eternal religion, and absolute bliss
