Detailed Meaning
Shree Krishna emphasizes that the transcendental knowledge of the three Gunas (modes of nature) allows a soul to transcend the cycle of rebirth. By 'sādharmyam,' the soul achieves a qualitative likeness to the Divine (divine nature), though it remains a distinct entity. This state grants immunity from the cosmic cycles of Sarga (creation) and Pralaya (dissolution), moving the soul from the influence of Mahamaya (material energy) to Yogmaya (divine energy).
