The three modes of material nature are Krishna’s external energies , He speaks about them  in the Bhagavad Gita, and they are like primary colours . You can connect with them, mix them, and do what you like with them . However be careful, these types of colours have you sucked into the painting of life and like a spiders web is a trap for the fly but not the spider , similarly Krishna weaves his web of illusions made up of these modes of nature only because we want it . Goodness  passion and ignorance are the three modes , of phycological and work . 3×3 =9 9×9=81.81×81=6561, so accordingly, the unlimited types of consciousness in the 8,400000 species are interacting with unlimited mixes and degrees of these modes .
Suddha Satva, though, is the trancendental mode beyond those entangled modes , Krishna says if you want, I can rescue you at any time  from the material modes and place you in your intended place of pure uncontaminated consciousness.

Responsibility in the modes .

Although it indicates in the Vedas whatever your destiny holds by your previous karma, is your due  and so there is no point in working like a dog or ass to achieve more and more ..
These things should be looked at carefully and not fanatically.
A money man’s nature is he is never satisfied and however rich he is he will want more . He also needs legislation  brought upon him because if he had his way, his poor workers would be poorer, and he would exploit everything without care .
The Vedas intends that everyone carries out Dharma or duties properly under the directions of the intelligensia.
We can not say the slums of eighteenth century England and the filth and disease working people lived in were God’s intentions.
When administration works properly, the businessmen thrive well and are happy to pay a fair wage for a fair days work.
Thus …
One who does wrong or suffers wrong is wrong…

Living in a world full of mirrors .

In the world of illusion, truth sounds like untruth and untruth sounds like truth .
The crooked heart can only follow the similarly crooked .
But the crookedness does not have to be permanent.
When Darwin saw bears with the mouths open catching flies and thought how they in the past entered the sea water and gradually transformed into whales with their mouths open catching plankton, he later tried to retract his statement..
So even he was attempting to straighten himself out.

Krishna indicates the modes of nature force the conditioned consciousness to act , so strong are their pull that  only by cultivating and practices of theological sciences and yoga can the living being begin to pull himself out .  God helps those who help themselves.
