Lord Krishna begins by explaining the characteristics of someone who has risen above the three qualities of nature. Such a person exhibits dispassion both externally and internally.
Internally, he does not reject the qualities of Sattva (pursuit of knowledge), Rajas (activity), and Tamas (delusion) as they arise in the mind. Furthermore, he does not crave these qualities when they are absent from his thoughts.
Understanding that all three qualities can tie him to the world of material objects, senses, and the mind, he remains detached from them, much like a person who neutrally observes a game without favoring any team or player, and in doing so, truly enjoys the game.
He also realizes that all bodily and sensory movements are influenced by the dominance of one or more qualities, yet he remains unaffected by them.
