Saguṇa means māyā.
We are rendering service. Either you are rendering service in office, or to your family, or to your cat, or to your dog, or to your government, or to your society—you must be giving some service. There is no escape. But that is saguṇa service, under these material laws. So you have to give nirguṇa service. If you give nirguṇa, then you become nirguṇa.
Then what is that nirguṇa? When you render service to Kṛṣṇa.
- māṁ ca 'vyabhicāreṇa
- bhakti-yogena yaḥ sevate
- sa guṇān samatītyaitān
- brahma-bhūyāya kalpate
- (BG 14.26)
It is not difficult at all. You can become immediately
nirguṇa as soon as you engage in the service of the Lord. And so long you keep yourself in that position, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you remain
nirguṇa. Mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te (
BG 7.14).
Saguṇa means māyā. Kṛṣṇa says,
mām eva ye prapadyante: "One who surrenders to Me,"
māyām etāṁ taranti, "no
māyā touching; no in contamination of
māyā." Māyām etāṁ taranti. There is
nirguṇa. Nirguṇa means be engaged in the devotional . . . loving devotional service of Kṛṣṇa. That is . . . then you are
svarūpa-darśana, ātma-darśana. That is your
ātma-darśana, nirguṇa. Prakṛteḥ para. As Kṛṣṇa is
prakṛteḥ para . . . prakṛteḥ . . . prakṛti means this material world, and para means transcendental. So
prakṛteḥ para. You cannot serve Kṛṣṇa unless you also become
prakṛteḥ parḥ, not within this material world.
