What is the significance of the Vedas in relation to the three gunas?

The Vedas are valuable pointers to the truth, but remember, they are saguna—shaped by the three gunas—while the ultimate reality remains beyond words and forms. True understanding transcends all scriptures and is found only in direct, unexpressed realization.

— Osho
According to Osho, the Vedas are saguna—expressed knowledge shaped by the three gunas—because any spoken or written word must take form and thus becomes limited. They are valuable pointers, not the boundless truth itself (nirguna). This is not a condemnation but a reminder: all scriptures, including the Gita, lie within guna; only direct, unexpressed realization transcends them.

The Vedas are like helpful maps drawn with colors (gunas), but the real land (truth) has no color and can’t fit into any map.
