There is a shabad on ang 33 that has one section which I cannot fathom and would appreciate some help. I understand the general gist of the shabad - it is that we can connect to Naam through following the path of the Guru Granth Sahib ji (discussed in more detail here http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-youth/8672-naam-my-understanding-3.html ). This line however, I am not sure what the highlighted section means.


ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਸਭਾ ਧਾਤੁ ਹੈ ਦੂਜਾ ਭਾਉ ਵਿਕਾਰੁ ॥

thrai gun sabhaa dhhaath hai dhoojaa bhaao vikaar ||

If one accepts the three qualities of Maya (temptation) it is due to its influence. The love of duality is corrupting.


What are the 3 qualities of Maya? In the teeka I read it said it was ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ = ਮਾਇਆ ਦੇ ਤਿੰਨ ਗੁਣ, ਰਜੋ ਗੁਣ, ਤਮੋ ਗੁਣ, ਸਤੋ ਗੁਣ।  but to be honest I don't understand this.



Thank you :happykaur:
