Sanskrit

त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन। निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्त्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान्।।2.45।।

Transliteration

trai-guṇya-viṣhayā vedā nistrai-guṇyo bhavārjuna nirdvandvo nitya-sattva-stho niryoga-kṣhema ātmavān

हिंदी अर्थ

हे अर्जुन, वेद तीनों गुणों (सत्त्व, रज, तम) के बारे में बताते हैं, लेकिन तू इन तीनों गुणों से परे हो जा। द्वन्द्वों (सुख-दुःख) से मुक्त रहकर, हमेशा सत्त्व में स्थित रहकर और लाभ-हानि की चिंता न करके आत्मवान बन जा।

Word by Word

trai-guṇya of the three modes of material nature
viṣhayāḥ subject matter
vedāḥ Vedic scriptures
nistrai-guṇyaḥ above the three modes of material nature, transcendental
bhava be
arjuna Arjun
nirdvandvaḥ free from dualities
nitya-sattva-sthaḥ eternally fixed in truth
niryoga-kṣhemaḥ unconcerned about gain and preservation
ātma-vān situated in the self
Simplified Perspective

The Vedas speak of the three gunas—the fundamental forces of nature—yet Krishna calls Arjuna to transcend them entirely, to stand in the eternal truth beyond all duality. This is not rejection of the world, but liberation from its grip on your consciousness.

When you release the anxious scrambling for gain and loss, you discover the unshakeable self that was always whole, and every action flows from authentic purpose rather than fear.
