When the Perceiver (the Self) finds no agent other than the Strands, and realizes That which is beyond the Strands, then he attains My state.
As soon as man understands that it is only the Qualities which act and nothing else, and perceives That which is beyond, he attains My divine nature.
When the seer beholds no agent of action other than the Gunas, and knows what transcends the Gunas, he attains to My state.

Transcending these three strands, from which the body [etc.] is born, the embodied (the soul) is freed from birth, death, old age, and sorrow, and attains immortality.
When the soul transcends the Qualities, which are the real cause of physical existence, then, freed from birth and death, from old age and misery, he quaffs the nectar of immortality.
The embodied self, crossing beyond these three Gunas which arise in the body, and freed from birth, death, age and pain, attains immortality.
Having transcended these three qualities which are the origin of the body, the embodied one, becoming free from birth, death, old age and sorrows, experiences Immortquality.
The embodied one, having crossed beyond these three Gunas out of which the body is evolved, is freed from birth, death, decay and pain, and attains to immortality.
