Having fulfilled their purpose, their sequence of successive mutations is at an end. Having transformed the yogi's consciousness by the radiation of the rays of the soul, the orderly mutations and rhythmic sequences of the qualities of nature, sattva, rajas and tamas come to an end. Their tasks are fulfilled, and they return to nature. The essence of intelligence and the essence of consciousness both now retire to rest in the abode of the soul.

They enthusiastically serve him as committed servants, without influencing him as before, and without interfering in his true glory. |
