Oordhwam gacchanti sattwasthaa madhye tishthanti raajasaah;
Jaghanyagunavrittisthaa adho gacchanti taamasaah.

18. Those who are seated in Sattwa proceed upwards; the Rajasic dwell in the middle; and
the Tamasic, abiding in the function of the lowest Guna, go downwards.

Naanyam gunebhyah kartaaram yadaa drashtaanupashyati;
Gunebhyashcha param vetti madbhaavam so’dhigacchati.

19. When the seer beholds no agent other than the Gunas, knowing that which is higher than
them, he attains to My Being.
