ABOUT THREE GUNAS - From BHAGAVATH GEETHA

ABOUT THREE GUNAS - From BHAGAVATH GEETHA:

14:5. Sattva, rajas, and tamas — are the gunas originating due to interaction
with prakriti. They firmly bind to the body the immortal indweller
of it, O mighty-armed.
14:6. Of these gunas sattva, thanks to its unstained purity — light
and healthy — attaches by attraction to happiness and by the bonds of
relationships (with people alike to oneself) and by the bonds of knowledge
(about unimportant in life), O sinless one.
14:7. Know that rajas — the field of passions — is the source of attachment
to the earthly life and the thirst for it. This binds, O Kaunteya,
the indweller of the body by attraction to action.
14:8. Tamas, born of ignorance, deludes the indwellers of the bodies
binding them by negligence, carelessness, and laziness, O sinless one.
14:9. Sattva attaches to bliss, rajas attaches to actions, tamas, verily,
destroys wisdom and attaches to carelessness.
14:10. Sometimes the guna sattva overcomes rajas and tamas;
when rajas prevails — then sattva and tamas are defeated; sometimes
tamas dominates defeating rajas and sattva.
14:11. When the light of wisdom shines from every pore of the body
then one can know that in this person sattva grows.
14:12. Greed, anxiety, urge to act, restlessness, worldly passions —
all these qualities arise from growth of rajas.
14:13. Dullness, laziness, carelessness, and also delusion — all
these are born when tamas grows.
14:14. If at the time of death in man prevails sattva then he enters
pure worlds of men of higher knowledge.
14:15. If prevails rajas then he gets born among those attached to
action (in the world of matter). Dying in the state of tamas he will be
born again among the ignorant.

14:16. The fruit of righteous action is harmonious and pure. Verily,
the fruit of passion is suffering. The fruit of ignorance is wandering in
darkness.
14:17. Sattva gives birth to wisdom. Rajas — to greed. Carelessness
and insanity originate from tamas.
14:18. Those living in sattva go up. The rajasic ones remain on the
middle level. The tamasic ones, possessing the worst qualities, go
down.
14:19. When man sees the three gunas as the only reason of activity
then he cognizes that which is transcendent to the gunas — then he
comes into My Essence.
14:20. When the indweller of the body becomes free from the three
gunas related to the world of matter then he becomes free from births,
deaths, old-age, suffering, and partakes immortality.
