Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 - Karma Yoga - Sloka 28


The entire content of this mail is from Swami Adidevananda's translation of Ramanuja Gita Bhashya, published by Ramakrishna Mission.


How to root out the Ego - sloka 27-32
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 3 -Karma Yoga - Sloka 28

Tattva vitthu mahabaho guna karma vibhagayoh I
Guna guneshu vartante iti matva na sajjate II sloka 28
तत्त्व वित्थु महाबाहो गुण कर्म विभागयोः ।
गुण गुणेषु वर्तन्ते इति मत्वा न सज्जते ।। श्लोक २८ 

But he who knows the truth about the division of gunas and works, O mighty armed One, through his knowledge that "Gunas operate on their products" is not attached. 


But he who knows the truth about the divisions o the gunas and their actions - namely, about the division among sattva, etc., on the one hand, and the divisions among their respective functionings on the other hand - it is he who realising that gunas ie., sattva etc., are operating on their own products, is not attached to the actions of the gunas, being convinced "I am not the doer".
