Translator:
Deluded by these Natures, composed of the three qualities of Nature, all this world does not know Me as distinct from them and immutable.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: deluded by these three states, the whole world doesn't recognize Krishna, who is beyond them and imperishable, naming this confusion as the actual mechanism obscuring deeper understanding.

In life: being caught up entirely in your current mood or mental state genuinely blocks you from seeing more clearly, that's not a metaphor, it's a real cognitive effect.

Teaching: when you notice you're strongly caught up in a mood or mental state, treat that as a signal your perception is likely distorted right now, and delay important judgments until it passes.
