Earlier in chapter fourteen, Shree Krishna had explained the three gunas or modes  of material nature and how they govern human behavior. In this chapter,  He goes deeper into the subject. In the beginning, He discusses faith  as an inseparable aspect of human nature and says that everyone holds  faith. However, depending upon the nature of their mind, their faith  adapts a corresponding color: sāttvic, rājasic, or tamasic.  The quality of life they lead is determined by the nature of their  faith, including the food they prefer to eat. He also classifies food  into three categories and discusses the impact of each category upon  humans.

Shree Krishna then moves to the subject of yajña (sacrifice) and explains that based on the modes of nature, sacrifice can manifest into varied forms. He also discusses tapah (austerity)  and describes the austerities of the speech, body, and mind. Again,  based on the modes in which these austerities are performed—goodness,  passion, or ignorance, they take different forms. Similarly, dān (charity) and its three-fold division based on the modes of nature are explained.

Towards the end of this chapter, Shree Krishna explains the relevance and importance of the words “Om Tat Sat” and how these words can usher the concept of transcendence. The syllable “Om” is the symbolic representation of the impersonal form of God; “tat” is uttered for dedicating ceremonies and actions to the Supreme Lord and the syllable “sat”  signifies eternal virtue and goodness. Together these words symbolize  different aspects of the Absolute Truth. Shree Krishna concludes this  chapter by emphasizing that the acts of sacrifice, austerity, and  charity performed without faith and regard to the guidelines given in  the scriptures are futile.

BG 17.3

The faith of all humans conforms  to the nature of their mind. All people possess faith, and whatever the  nature of their faith, that is verily what they are.

BG 17.4:Those in the mode of goodness worship the celestial gods; those in the mode of passion worship the yakṣhas and rākṣhasas; those in the mode of ignorance worship ghosts and spirits.

Today's  Podcast makes us aware of the fact that Life can give us the most important learning which we usually ignore. We should adopt the good qualities of others and also make sure that the bad qualities, which we tend to reject in others, should never become a part of our personality.

This chapter expounds on the two kinds of  human nature—the saintly and the demoniac. Shree Krishna explains that  the saintly-nature develops in humans by cultivating the modes of  goodness, by following the instructions given in the scriptures, and  purifying the mind with spiritual practices. Such behavior attracts daivī sampatti or godlike qualities, eventually leading to God-realization. Contrary  to this, the demoniac-nature develops by associating with modes of  passion and ignorance and materially focused lifestyles that breed  unwholesome traits in human personality. This leads the soul finally to a  hell-like existence.

Shree Krishna enumerates the saintly virtues  of those endowed with a divine nature and then describes the demoniac  qualities that should be shunned consciously. Else, these will drag the  soul further into ignorance and samsara or the cycle of life  and death. In the end, Shree Krishna declares that the knowledge of the  scriptures helps in overcoming ignorance and passion. They also guide us  to make the right choices in life. Therefore, we must understand their  teachings and injunctions and accordingly perform our actions in this  world.

BG 16.23:  Those who act under the impulse of desire,  discarding the injunctions of the scriptures, attain neither perfection,  nor happiness, nor the supreme goal in life.

BG 16.24: Therefore, let the scriptures be your  authority in determining what should be done and what should not be  done. Understand the scriptural injunctions and teachings, and then  perform your actions in this world accordingly.

BG 16.18:   Blinded by egotism, strength, arrogance,  desire, and anger, the demonic abuse my presence within their own body  and in the bodies of others.

BG 16.21:  There are three gates leading to the hell of  self-destruction for the soul—lust, anger, and greed. Therefore, all  should abandon these three.

BG 16.22:  Those who are freed from the three gates to  darkness endeavor for the welfare of their soul, and thereby attain the  supreme goal.
