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].

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).
