Yoga Sutra 4.32

tataḥ kṛtār-athānaṃ pariṇāma-krama-samāptih-guṇānām

Then, having reached the objective the guna-s end

These last aphorisms of the Sutra present the scenario at the end of the yogic journey/path. As such, the following further explains what it means to attain dharma-megha-samādhi.

The three guna-s are the three energies of nature; sattva, rajas and tamas.  They are threads that make up the fabric of the universe:

• Sattva: represents light, purity, truth, and consciousness. 

• Rajas: represents over-activity, passion and excitement 

• Tamas: represents inertia and lethargy

  
  

However, once dharma-megha-samādhi is attained the guna-s have no further role to play.  You live in pure awareness without generating karma.
