ANNOTATIONS 93-98; The word 'guna' signifies here the five types of sensual qualities viz., colour, sound, odour, taste and touch. These are existent in all directions east, west, south and north; up, down and sideways. Perception of these qualities through the sense-organs and feelings of attachment to them are two distinct phenomena. The Sadhaka is warned here to be on his guard against the latter. For, one who gets lost in the world of attachments becomes a slave of his desires which, subsequently, degenerates him into a wanton or a licentious person. Consequently he would not be able to follow the path of asceticism and hence leaving it, would become again a householder.
