Arjuna submitted three different questions and the Lord answers them one after another. In these verses, Krishna first indicates that a person transcendentally situated has no envy and does not hanker for anything. The next question concerns the dealings of a transcendentally situated person. The materially situated person is affected by so-called honour and dishonour offered to the body, but the transcendentally situated person is not affected by such false honour and dishonour. He is equally disposed and sees everything on an equal level because he knows perfectly well that he has nothing to do with material existence. He does not attempt anything for his own sake. By such behaviour one becomes actually transcendentally situated.

And I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is immortal, imperishable and eternal and is the constitutional position of ultimate happiness.
It is explained in the Seventh Chapter that material nature is the manifestation of the inferior energy of the Supreme Lord. The Lord impregnates the inferior, material nature with fragments of the Superior nature, and that is the spiritual touch in the material nature. When a living entity conditioned by this material nature begins that cultivation of spiritual knowledge, he elevates himself from the position of material existence and gradually rises up to the Brahman conception of the Supreme.
In his constitutional position, a living entity is above the three modes of material nature, but association with material nature entangles him in the different modes of material nature - goodness, passion and ignorance. Due to the association of these three modes, his desire to dominate the material world is there. By engagement in devotional service, he is immediately situated in the transcendental position and his unlawful desire to control material nature is removed.
