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].

It also emphasizes that (29) Happiness generated by sense objects is rajasik in nature while that which arises from realising the Supreme Being is beyond the Gunas.<ref>Swami Sivananda (2000), [https://www.dlshq.org/download2/lordkrishna.pdf Lord Krishna His Lilas and Teachings], Uttar Pradesh: The Divine Life Society.</ref> [see 11.15: 17 & B.G. 5: 21, but also 6: 7].
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).
