It is said that the knower of the Supreme Reality is instantly liberated. It is followed by a summary of what constitutes true knowledge. Then is the declaration of the Supreme Atma, the knowledge of which grants us immortality.
In the thirteenth Chapter, it was clearly explained that by humbly developing knowledge one may possibly be freed from material entanglement.

ज्ञेयं यत्तत्प्रवक्ष्यामि यज्ज्ञात्वामृतमश्नुते । 13.12

I shall now explain the knowable, knowing which you will taste the eternal. ASA
I will now describe that which ought to be known, through the knowing of which one attains immortality.
य एवं वेत्ति पुरुषं प्रकृतिं च गुणैः सह । सर्वथा वर्तमानोऽपि न स भूयोऽभिजायते ॥१३- २३॥
य एवं वेत्ति पुरुषं प्रकृतिं च गुणैः सह । सर्वथा वर्तमानोऽपि न स भूयोऽभिजायते ॥१३- २३॥
One who understands this philosophy containing material nature, the living entity and the interaction of the modes of nature is sure to attain liberation. He will not take birth here again, regardless of his present position.ASA
He who thus knows Purusha and Prakrti, along with the gunas, is not born again, however he may comport himself.
It has also been explained that it is due to association with the modes of nature that the living entity is entangled in this material world.

पुरुषः प्रकृतिस्थो हि भुङ्क्ते प्रकृतिजान्गुणान् । कारणं गुणसङ्गोऽस्य सदसद्योनिजन्मसु ॥१३- २१॥
पुरुषः प्रकृतिस्थो हि भुङ्क्ते प्रकृतिजान्गुणान् । कारणं गुणसङ्गोऽस्य सदसद्योनिजन्मसु ॥१३- २१॥
The living entity in material nature thus follows the ways of life, enjoying the three modes of nature. This is due to his association with that material nature. Thus he meets with good and evil among various species.ASA
Purusha, embodied in Prakrti, experiences the gunas born of Prakrti. It is attachment to these gunas that is the cause of His birth in the good and evil wombs.
Now in this chapter, the Supreme Personality explains what those modes of nature are, how they act, how they bind and how they give liberation.
