Bhagavad Gita Ch. 14 “Yoga of the Three Modes of Material Nature” Verses 7,8 & 9
The lecture discusses why we do not experience our true nature, Sat-Chit-Ananda, due to the bondage created by the Qualities of Satva, Rajas, and Tamas, and how they bind the infinite self to the limited body, mind, and intellect, thereby creating Jiva, the individual self.

We have been discussing chapter 14, Guṇa Traya Vibhāg Yog, Yoga of Three Gunas. In chapter 13, Bhagavan said there's only one knower in all the fields. Whatever the field is, the knower is only one. This body is the field of experiences. The one who knows this body is the knower of the field. There are not various knowers in various bodies.
