Chapter 18
Mokshasanyaasa Yoga
32. The intelligence being obscured due to which one cannot discriminate what are Perennial Principles and what is contrary to them and also the one who sees all the things in perverted manner is known, O Arjuna, as taamasik. When by unwavering meditation, the Mind, Breath. and the senses are restrained from being distracted from equanimity, know that state, O Arjuna, to be saatvik.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- The equanimous communion with Sri Vishnu is spoken as saatvik intelligence, since non-sensual, it is virtuous.
34 – 35 - 36. When one holds to the Perennial Principles with determined mind, desiring the fruits of pleasures and wealth, know that state, O Arjuna, to be raajasik. When one is not rescued from the state of dreaming, fearing, grieving, depression and arrogance due to his obstinate mind. know that state, O Arjuna, to be taamasik. Listen to Me about the three-fold happiness, O Arjuna, in which in course of time by practice one revels in happiness and reaches the state or happiness in the end.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Dreams, fears etc. considered prohibited by elders are the subsidiary marks. Intelligence relating to these matters is taamasik. Matters endorsed by elders are considered saatvik and matters disapproved are taamasik. Matters in respect of which they are impervious are raajasik. „ महामानुस्तु मां पार्थ‟ and „ अभयं सच्वसंशद्धि:‟ by such statements elders have commended Dharma, thus in Bhagavat Purana.
