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 27

Prakreteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani sarvashah I
Ahankara vimudatma karta ham iti manyate II sloka 27
प्रक्रेतेः क्रियमाणानि गुणैः कर्माणि सर्वशः ।
अहङ्कार विमुदत्मा कर्ता हं इति मन्यते ।। श्लोक २७ 

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


But he who knows the truth about the divisions of 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".
