Dhrubaji : Thank you for your explanation. I have to differ from
your statement that 'All of us have a mixture of the three guNas'. It
is my understanding that GYAni are beyond all the three guNas. Further,
imho, Ishvaras also act only through Satva guNa though they are unaffected
by the guNa itself.
Interesting. So what is the purpose of being of the other gunas ?
The Bhagvad Gita does say that God himself has created the gunas. Why
has he created the other gunas ?
Do you know what is meant by the three gunas and what it would mean to
be free of those gunas ? Then only can you consider whether "gyanis"
are free of all gunas.
