TRIGUNA VIBHAVA YOGA This yoga is about managing the gunas. Identifying which guna is predominantly playing out is a practical method to assist with karma yoga and to purify the mind. No-one makes themselves the way they are; isvara or the gunas does that. The ‘work’ involved in self inquiry is identifying the gunas through self knowledge and allowing the knowledge to help ‘you’ manage the gunas by dis-identifying with them as awareness. Note the guna and adjust to it in the light of what kind of mind you are trying to create. Make peace of mind your aim at all costs. Through the application of self knowledge the jiva will eventually realize that the ‘person’ walking around is no more than a notion in you, awareness. Once self knowledge has been actualized, regardless of what guna conditions the subtle body (the ‘person’), they are rendered non-binding as the doer has been negated by self knowledge. The gunas have nothing to do with you, awareness, because you know that you are not the subtle body, the person/doer. You are triguna-atita, which means that you are beyond the gunas. ShiningWorld
