Mokshasanyaasa Yoga
23 – 24 - 25. The ordained actions performed without attachment, without love or hatred, without desiring fruits are known as saatvik. The actions performed desiring gratification, with ego and with great effort are known as raajasik.The actions which results in loss, injury and without regard to one's capacity but due to one's delusion are known as taamasik.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- The Lord having spoken „surrendering all actions to Me, with consciousness fixed on the Supreme Self‟ and „This is My opinion‟ „This is, what it is‟, the non-performance of such actions by one in furtherance of deliverance, may cause impediments. The performance of actions with the intent of surrendering them to the Lord, with the knowledge about the supremacy of Sri Vishnu, is known as the regulated form of the performance of action. The statement „with consciousness fixed on the Supreme' Self‟ should be understood as referring to the knowledge of the principal form of the Lord. In the statement, „(surrendering) all the actions to Me‟ the consciousness fixed „with reference to Me, with unbroken equanimity meditating on Me‟ thus having spoken. All such actions for communion with Resplendent Lord are said to be saatvic actions.
26. The performer who performs, freed from attachment, with non-ego in speech, with full determination and real, unmoved by success or failure, are known as saatvik.
