Ep. 127 - सरल भगवद् गीता अध्याय 14 (प्रकृति के तीन गुण) श्लोक 6 || Bhagavad Gita Simplified Chapter 14 (The Three Modes of Material Nature) - Verses 6 || 25/08/2022

The living entities conditioned by material nature are of various types. One is happy, another is very active, and another is helpless. All these types of psychological manifestations are causes of the entities' conditioned status in nature. How they are differently conditioned is explained in this section of Bhagavad-gita. The mode of goodness is first considered.  The mode of goodness is serene and illuminating. Thus, sattva guṇa engenders virtue in one’s personality and illuminates the intellect with knowledge. It makes a person become calm, satisfied, charitable, compassionate, helpful, serene, and tranquil. It also nurtures good health and freedom from sickness.  This sense of happiness is due to the understanding that, in the mode of goodness, one is more or less free from sinful reactions. Actually, in the Vedic literature, it is said that the mode of goodness means greater knowledge and a greater sense of happiness.  The difficulty here is that when a living entity is situated in the mode of goodness, he becomes conditioned to feel that he is advanced in knowledge and is better than others. In this way, he becomes conditioned. - Send in a Voice Message - https://anchor.fm/spirituallearningpodcast/message
