puruṣaḥ prakr̥tistho hi bhuṅ‌kte prakr̥tijānguṇān । kāraṇaṁ guṇasaṅgo'sya sadasadyonijanmasu ॥13.21॥</blockquote>This forms the basis for the discussion in this chapter on what the three Gunas are, how they act, how they bind and how they facilitate moksha.

Shri Krishna begins by stating that the knowledge explained in this chapter is supreme wisdom, the best of all knowledge.<ref name=":1" /> And that, it is the knowledge by understanding which all sages have attained highest perfection after passing from this world.<ref name=":2" /><blockquote>परं भूयः प्रवक्ष्यामि ज्ञानानां ज्ञानमुत्तमम् । यज्ज्ञात्वा मुनयः सर्वे परां सिद्धिमितो गताः ॥१४.१॥<ref name=":3">Bhagavad Gita, [https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE/%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%83 Chapter 14 (Guna Traya Vibhaga Yoga)]</ref> paraṁ bhūyaḥ pravakṣyāmi jñānānāṁ jñānamuttamam । yajjñātvā munayaḥ sarve parāṁ siddhimito gatāḥ ॥14.1॥</blockquote>Thus, it is expected that the one who understands this fourteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita will also attain perfection. Moreover, he states that resorting to this knowledge, one attains similarity with the Supreme Being and thereby is neither born at the time of creation nor is troubled at the time of dissolution.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /><blockquote>इदं ज्ञानमुपाश्रित्य मम साधर्म्यमागताः । सर्गेऽपि नोपजायन्ते प्रलये न व्यथन्ति च ॥१४.२॥<ref name=":3" />
