Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14, Verse 20

गुणानेतानतीत्य त्रीन्देही देहसमुद्भवान् | जन्ममृत्युजरादुःखैर्विमुक्तोऽमृतमश्नुते ||

guṇān etān atītya trīn dehī deha-samudbhavān janma-mṛtyu-jarā-duḥkhair vimukto 'mṛtam aśnute

When the embodied being transcends these three gunas, which are born from the body, he is freed from birth, death, old age, and suffering, and attains immortality.

Krishna reveals the ultimate result of transcending the gunas: 'Guṇān etān atītya trīn dehī deha-samudbhavān'—when the embodied being (dehī) transcends (atītya) these three gunas (guṇān etān trīn), which are born from the body (deha-samudbhavān). 'Janma-mṛtyu-jarā-duḥkhair vimukto 'mṛtam aśnute'—freed (vimuktaḥ) from birth (janma), death (mṛtyu), old age (jarā), and suffering (duḥkhaiḥ), he attains (aśnute) immortality (amṛtam). This is the ultimate freedom: transcending the gunas means freedom from the cycle of birth and death, from old age, from all suffering. You attain immortality—not physical immortality, but spiritual freedom from the cycle of material existence. Understanding this helps you see the ultimate goal: not just to be in a good state, but to transcend all three gunas completely and achieve true liberation.
