sattvam sukhe sanjayati,rajah karmani bharata,
jnassam avarty tu tamash,paramada sanjayaty uta--9
The mod of 'sattva'transent a man to happiness,and knowedge, similarly 'Rajas' one remains in worldly affairs[karmik stage].but last mod tamasa drags one with the lowest form of self.
Goodness attaches one to happiness,passion to action.O! Bharata [Arjuna]but dullness,veiling wisdom attaches to negligence.
Goodness binds us to happiness and we remain in that happiness.as well as wealth,tour,sex,children,house,car.we could not leave that boundary of sattav guna due to pleasure.in 'Rajas'[passion]we caught up in worldly affairs by the fire of desires,lust we do more and more work for the fruite.it binds us by work. Tamas set us in negative state.Laziness,ignorance,we forget what should do or not do.It leads us toward wickedness to get the fruit without making effort.

Tamas[dullness]
tamas tv ajnajam viddhi,mohanam sarvadehina
paramadalasyanidrabhis,tan nibadhnati baharat.--8
In this guna our life becomes dull,dark.this is the dark side of our life.we become unable to define what is right and what is wrong.that teaching which our guru or vadas describes we forget this knowledge.vadas explain us and give view to lead a meaningful life.we forget that teaching and began to do works like an ignorant person.we lost the ability for goodness and reaches to a lower level of our life.this is our negative side.
Tamas leads to us laziness,negligence and sleep.when we become lazy we waste our time to reach the goal of enlightenment.there are so many devotees who are well learned and stared with enlightened sages but due to there laziness they neglect that qualities which are necessary.
central idea of this solaka is:Dullness [tamas]know thou is born of ignorance and dullness.it binds O Baharta [Arjun]by developing the qualities of negligence,indolence,and sleep.

Passion binds us with attachments.
rajo ragatnakam viddhi,trsnasangasamudbhavam,
tan nibahnati kuntey,karamsangana dehinam--7
Passion[rajas]know thou,is the nature of attraction.springing from craving and attachment.It binds fast o! son of kunti[Arjuna],the embodied one by attachment to action.--7
He who wants to become master of his senses of mind,he should aware of his activities of his mind.Because when we see the thief than he runs away.For this we are advised to watch our senses of mind and explore it.If you studied j.krishanamurti,Maharishi Ramana they all advised for observation.
In the time of passion[rajas guna]our mind becomes one with lust,desire,sex,that all called as 'Trishana'in sanskrit.as a man in desert becomes upset without water and he feels that at any cost I should find water.so likewise in lust desire sex,we become thirsty to achieve that thing.
Trishana and sangah[combination].at the time of 'Trishana'deeply desire as,lust we want that at any cost we should get thing as a car,we should not want to leave this car for example.so this is our attachment to worldly things.[objects].This guna binds us by karmas.This solaka was about rajas guna[passion].

3 gunas (quality)
THE BHAGVADGITA
6. TATRA SATTVAM NIRMALATVAT
PRAKASAKAM ANAMAYAM
SUKHASANGENA BADHNATI
JNANASANGENA CA NAGHA
Of these goodness(satva) being pure,causes illumination and health.It binds o! blameless one by attachment to happiness and by attachment to knowledge.
This 'satvaguna' is pure and illuminates us.We can find it by its qualities.All experiences this happiness and knowledge the mind is so engrossed in this that it does not desire to move beyond but o! blameless (Arjuna) it binds us by joy and knowledge.The quality of satvagun is goodness.When we feel pleasure by any thing a new house,a car,wealth,wife,son then we become happy and we want to stay in such luxuries.Our knowledge also gives us happiness.I know this and that.In such things we create our ego.I am a rich,I am learned,this and that.But for self-realization we have to crone this barrier of satvaguna.
Because we are happy in this guna we do not want to leave happiness we are attached to these things which gives us pleasure in 'rajus guna'(worldly affairs) and in 'tamas' (darkness) we want to leave this conflict but in satvaguna there is no conflict,so we do not want to leave these pleasures because in satva we are near the self it gives light to our mind.But still there are change.It may be of gold but still are change.It binds us in these things and does not come face to face with self.If we want to jump in a canal we have to stand on its edge.Satva is like this.When we jumo we will be one with water so to reach in samadhi (Self-realization) we have to leave the edge of satvaguna.So it binds us with pleasure and knowledge.You have seen so many creatures,scholars they are attache to their wisdom, intelligence.So knowledge of this type binds us.

Three qualities of our body and mind.
sattvam rajas tamas iti,gunah prakrtisambhavah,
nibadhnanti mahabaho,dehe dehinam avyayam.---5
Everybody is tied to a -mod as classified by their nature and effect as sattvic,rajas,tamas.--5
Three gunas[modes] are like this,sattvica,[goodness]Rajas[passion]Tamas[dullness] These mods lies in our body as a part of nature.they are according our previous lives.we can see some people are peaceful,claim by nature,they are from 'sattvic'nature.some are hard worker talkative nature worldly affairs are most important for him.They can not sit for a while.the are from rajas nature.but still there are from tamas nature they are of lazy nature.they do not work hard.they are extremely self centered.
These qualities are of our mind and body. because our body follows our mind.so Lord Krishana describes these three mods because after knowing them we can find the way to self realization.

My nature is mother and I am father how casts seed
sarvayonisu kaunteya murtayah sambhavanti yah,
tasam brahama mahad yonir,aham bijapradah pita.--4
whatever forms are produced in any wombs whatsoever,O son of kunti [Arjuna]Great Bhrahma is there womb and I am the father who casts the seeds.
Parkarti[nature]is the mother and God is the father of all living beings.as parkirti is also is the nature of God.so GODis the father and mother of the universe.he is the seed and womb of the universe.The spirit of God fertilizes our lives and makes them what God want them to be.The one who follows the path of to righteousness gets involved in all things pass through the world as lotus remains untouched in the water.

Nature is my womb where i cast seed.
sarvayonisu kaunteya,murtayah sambhavanti,yah,
tasam brahma mahad yonir,aham bijapradah pita.-3
Great Braham[parkirti]is my womb in which I cast the seed and from it is the birth of all beings.O! Bharta[Arjuna].-3
If we were merely product of nature than we could not attain the life eternal.The verse affirms that all existence is a manifestation of divine.he is the cosmic seed.With reference to this world,he becomes 'Hiranyagarbha'the cosmic soul.
Shankrachara said,"I unite 'Shatra'with kshatraya giving birth to hiranyagarbha hence to all beings".The Lord is the father who deposits in the womb.which is not the self,the seed which is essential life thus causing the birth of every individual.the world is the play of the infinite on the finite.
The Lord describes that being Bhrama[super soul]himself and the universe being his womb.he provided with the seeds of creation by himself.
