Why is it so? It is so because they perform actions according to their tunas'. So the fruit of 'Sattvika' action is pure (faultless) the fruit of Rajas is sorrow and the fruit of Tamas is ignorance (delusion). It means that such as the temperaments of goodness etc.. bear fruit, so do the Sattvika actions etc., bear fruit.(16) What is the cause of temperaments and actions? These three Gunas are the cause of temperaments and actions. Wisdom arises from Sattva; greed from Rajas; likewise heedlessness, stupor and ignorance arise from Tamas.(17) What type of fate do these men established in the three Gunas meet with? Those who are established m Sattva go to higher regions such as heaven etc., those of a Rãjasika nature go to the region of men; while these of a Tamasika temperament descend into the infernal regions (hells) etc.(18) Then who realizes You? When the seer (wise) perceives no agent other than the Gunas and knows himself beyond these Gunas. he enters into My being. Having transcended the three Gunas out of which the body is produced and freed from birth, death, old age and sorrow, he enjoys immortality.(19-20) |
