अर्जुन बोले -- हे प्रभो ! इन तीनों गुणोंसे अतीत हुआ मनुष्य किन लक्षणोंसे युक्त होता है? उसके आचरण कैसे होते हैं? और इन तीनों गुणोंका अतिक्रमण कैसे किया जा सकता है?। अनुभव तब स्पष्ट होता है जब उसे किसी एक घटना का आकस्मिक संयोग न मानकर एक नियम की तरह देखा जाए। यह पंक्ति उसी नियम को इस प्रसंग में रखती है।
