The State of Absolute Bliss

प्रकाशं च प्रव्रुत्तिं च मोहमेव च पाण्डव।
न द्वेष्टि सम्प्रवृत्तानि न निवृत्तानि काङ्क्षति॥ - स गुणातीत: उच्यते - गीता
Geeta says some thing very soothing.
We succeed in many of our endeavours. We rejoice in success
Mistakes too are part of life. We do make many of them. We regret those deeds.
Geeta asks us to realise the true nature of self- the soul, that does not do any thing.
It is the Prakruti that does every thing through its 3 gunas. It is only that अहङ्कार-विमूढ-आत्मा कर्ताऽहमिति मन्यते.
So the one who transcends three Gunas namely Satva Rajas and Tamas that lead to enlightenment, activity and sluggishness reapectlvely, and the one who does not regret the actions being perfprm or desire the fruits of those that have been done in past is called as गुणातीत.
