A traveller passing through a forest late in the evening, was captured by three robbers. All the three attacked him together One bound him with a rope and another took a knife to kill him .At this the third pleaded with his comrades not to kill the traveller. He prevailed over his comrades to set him free. On coming to know that he was to go to a nearby village, he escorted him up to the outskirts of the village and asked him to go further on himself. He regretted his inability to accompany him, saying that he could not go to the village as he would be arrested by the police, being a robber himself. So the robber returned.

Now let us see who these robber s were. They were the three qualities of nature which caused the souls bondage and ignorance — Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas. Rajas tried to bind the soul to the desires of the flesh. Tamas sought to destroy the soul by overcoming it with sleep and torpor. The role of Satwa was to liberate it from the clutches of Rajas and Tamas. Though Satwa took him up to the boundary beyond which was the realm of the Atman, it could not accompany him there. Even Satwa Guna had no entry into the realm. All the three qualities must be transcended before you can enter into the infinity of divine existence in which you lose yourself. He who goes there never returns to tell the tale of his experience s because there he becomes one with the eternal reality — God.
