Shloka : 59

प्रोक्तास्ते निर्गुणा भक्ता निर्गुणस्य हरेर्यत: ।

सम्बन्धात्तत्किया: सर्वा भयन्त्येव हि निर्गुणा: ॥ 59 ॥

અને નિર્ગુણ કહેતાં, માયાના જે સત્ત્વાદિક ત્રણ ગુણ તેણે રહિત એવા જે શ્રીકૃષ્ણભગવાન તેના સંબંધથકી, તે આત્મનિવેદી ભક્તની જે સર્વે ક્રિયા તે નિર્ગુણ થાય છે; તે હેતુ માટે તે આત્મનિવેદી ભક્ત જે તે નિર્ગુણ કહ્યા છે. ॥ 59 ॥

And 'Nirguna' means Shri Krishna Bhagwan who is beyond illusion i.e. 'Maya' and its three attributes Satwa, Rajas and Tamas; through His contact, all the actions performed by His 'Atmanivedi' i.e. completely surrendered devotees also become 'Nirguna'. Therefore such devotees are called 'Nirguna'. || 59 ||

Commentary

Shri Harikrishna Mahaprabhu is beyond the attributes of qualities of 'Maya' i.e. illusion and He is full of infinite divine qualities and He liberates His devotees from the bondage of 'Kaal' i.e. time, 'Maya' i.e. illusion and 'Yama' i.e. death. Through His contact all the actions i.e. all the deeds performed through the senses, of His 'Atmanivedi' i.e. completely surren­dered devotees become 'Nirguna'. Moreover, the staunch belief in Shriji Maharaj and related knowledge are also considered 'Nirgu­na'. And the devotion of such devotee, who is 'Atmanivedi', is also called 'Nirguna'. The knowledge leading towards self-realization is of Satwik nature, the knowledge leading towards heaven and heavenly pleas­ures is of Rajas nature and the knowledge leading towards the indulgence into the sensual pleasures is of Tamas nature.

Now, the knowledge which leads towards complete surrender towards the most compassionate Supreme God Shri Swaminarayan Bhagwan is beyond all the three types of nature and is 'Nirguna'.
