In the chapter preceeding the Aila Gita, Shri Krishna describes the effects of the trigunas and their combinations one by one. It is mentioned therein that human beings are bound to trigunas because they manifest in the mind and lead to attachment to life-forms and sense-objects (12) [see also B.G. 4: 14]. However, those who take shelter of the Supreme Being become free from the trigunas (27) and attain the Supreme Being (22) [see also B.G. 9: 25, 14: 18].

Material substance, place, fruit of action, time, knowledge, activity, the performer, faith, the state of consciousness and the species and the destinations of life, all belong to the trigunas (30). In fact, all that exists is a composition of the trigunas (31). These forms of existence and stages of life of the repeatedly incarnating living beings are bound to the operation of the gunas. Those who being dedicated to the Supreme Being in bhakti yoga conquer these gunas that manifest in the mind, qualify for the transcendental love of the Supreme being (32).

Therefore, those who obtain the human body by which one acquires knowledge and develops wisdom, should be smart enough to shake off their attachment to the gunas and worship the Supreme Being (33).
