Stop Raising Your Vibration—The Bhagavad Gita's Shocking Correction

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]Stop trying to raise your vibration.

[00:00:02]There is an important hidden secret that nobody in the manifestation and the self-help industry is telling you. Not because they are hiding it, but because even they don't know about this. Here's the problem with every technique designed to raise your vibration. The positive morning music, the gratitude list, the high frequency affirmations, the breath work to activate satwa and so on. They're not wrong. But the problem is deeper. Every time you say, "I need to raise my vibration," you're acknowledging to the universe that the state that you're in is not right. It's not correct. And what you acknowledge and what you know at a very deep level in your awareness is what manifests. So that is the kind of life that you're experiencing right now. The ancient Bhagavat Gita saw this trap coming thousands of years ago. And Krishna gave Arjuna a teaching in chapter 14th that completely dissolves it. Not how to achieve a higher state but how to become the one who is no longer controlled by any state. And that teaching is what this video is about. There is one word in the ancient Bhagavat Gita for the person who has made the shift. By the end of this video, you will understand exactly what that word is and also how to live from it. There is also a reason why chasing the highest vibration is itself described in the Gita as a form of bondage. That insight will reframe everything you have been taught about spiritual streets. With this, let's come to the understanding of the three gonas.

[00:01:34]In the 14th chapter of Gita, Krishna speaks about the three gonas and how these three dimensions have created the entire universe. So every aspect of this universe including your own body and your own mind and who you are right now is made of these three gonas or components. These are satwa, rajas and tamas. Tamas is darkness. It is lethargy. It is the very primal momentum of life. And then comes rajas which is more about activity, aggression, ambition and so on. And then comes satwa which is about clarity which is about purpose awareness consciousness joy fulfillment and so on. Now each and every one of us if you observe your life you have these three gonas these three natures operating within you at some level during some times you are very lazy you're lethargic you don't feel like working at all right you you just feel like sleeping that is thus activating within you and then there is rajas where you are extremely ambitious you maybe watch a motivational video you read a book you are inspired suddenly and you're working and you're working hard. Now that's the rajas that is getting activated. And there are also at times maybe a few glimpses you have got here and there. Maybe when you do your puja, when you meditate, right? When you go to temple or your church, there is a glimpse of awareness. There is that silence, that inner peace. There is a sense of deep fulfillment. This happens to different people during different periods in time. Now understanding these three gonas are fundamental to understanding vibration. Right? Tamas we can look at as the lowest vibration and it represents darkness. Rajas is somewhere in the middle and satwa is somewhere in the top. But beyond all this we need to understand a hidden secret. Gita says this about satwa that is the highest vibration in sixth verse of the 14th chapter. It says satwa binds you by attachment to happiness and knowledge. So even the highest vibration, the highest gona is a boundary. It is something which can bind you. It binds you to pleasure, the clear state and the state of clarity and the state of limited happiness. And the goal was never to achieve the high vibration.

[00:04:04]The goal was always to become free from identification with all these three states and natures. And the one who is free from all these three gonas is said to be three.

[00:04:17]This is how gods are described in ancient sanatana dharma. If you look at how Shiva or Krishna and Narayana, these gods are described. They're described in this way. These gods are beyond these three states in consciousness. They are beyond these three gonas because that's the goal. Even satwa although it is a high vibration it can bind us even that is a limitation and the goal for a human being to reach our ultimate state through liberation is to break free from all these boundaries of all these three gonas that's where we need to focus on and that's the fundamental doctrine of adwita vanta adwita vanta says you are not bound by any gonas you are actually your inner nature your true nature your swarupa is actually free. It is that free limitless consciousness. You just have assumed yourself to be an identity which is a swabha which is your personality. Now that personality has a gona has a combination of these three natures not your true self. So the goal is not to raise your vibration. The goal is to realize that you are the highest vibration. In fact you are beyond any vibration. You are the highest state already. So nothing needs to be raised but something needs to be realized and recognized and this is the only difference in sanatana dharma that's mentioned between an human being and god in the ancient scandopish there is a very powerful verse which goes like this jaha shiva what the verse is telling is very simple very very profound it is telling The difference between ja a human being and Shiva God is this you know para ja the one who is in bondage is ja a human being shiva the one without bondage is shiva god that is all the difference between a human being and god bondage and boundary any boundary we create for ourselves keeps us away from our essential infinite state of consciousness that state of God when we can access that why should we aim for anything less Gita talks about something called as the interplay of the gonas you know it says these three states within you are always in motion always shifting Gita 14.10 10 says satwa arises by overpowering rajas and tamus and rajas by overpowering satwa and tamas and tamus by overpowering satwa and rajas. These three gunas are constantly overthrowing and fighting each other. That is their nature and you cannot win this game by playing it harder. Entire vibration raising approach is playing this game and calling it spirituality. The Gita is pointing at something completely different, not a better strategy within the game. And that secret is this. And this is the single word that I was talking about. When a seer perceives his true nature, when he understands who he actually is, and once he stabilizes himself in that understanding, he becomes ga like I was talking about.

[00:07:45]Gona is the word which means he has transcended all vibrations. He is beyond even the highest vibration. If guna is the weather, gunita is the sky. Weather changes constantly but the sky never changes. Being gathet is a very powerful place. We can learn to be this way little by little by emulating that.

[00:08:09]Being like that it doesn't mean we are not operating at rajas or satwa or tamas but it means we are not bound by it right for example Sri Krishna was a gunatita he was not bound by anything but he still waged wars against demons he was very satic and he was very loving towards people who loved him to his devotees and so on so it is not that these goonas are not in that person but it means that he can make use of them however he wants to. He's in control. He is conscious. So the gonas are not in control of him but he is in control of the gonas. That is the gatita and that's what we must aim to be. Now all of this we make it very practical and implementable in life through conscious creation. That's what we teach at Adwita conscious society.

[00:09:04]conscious creation. It's about learning the skill of disidentification and being in that state of awareness and consciously choosing an identity to live this life. We call it being a monk at heart and a warrior in action where internally you're peaceful, you're detached, but externally you're focused and aligned. That's a very powerful place to be.

There is your body, there is your mind and then there is the awareness. It is the deepest layer of you. And the more you can operate from that space, the more you are operating from beyond your gonas, beyond your nature. And we have a simple and yet powerful practice that we offer for free called the awareness meditation. Now that is what you need to watch next. And you need to practice the awareness meditation 10 to 15 minutes a day consistently for a few months. Slowly you will be able to break your old patterns and slowly you'll be able to act fluidly and act beyond your gonas and it can be very very powerful. But if you want to accelerate this journey you can apply to work with us directly.
