pravṛtiṃ ca nivṛttiṃ ca kāryākārye bhayābhaye |
bandhaṃ mokṣaṃ ca yā vetti buddhiḥ sā pārtha sātvakī || 30 ||

30. That Rationalism is considered to be Sattvic O Arjuna, which discerns extroversion and
introversion, what ought to be done and what ought not to be done, fear and freedom from fear,
bondage and liberation.

Commentary

Extroversion (pravṛtti) — the Dharma which is practiced as the means for worldly prosperity. Introversion (nivṛtti) — the Dharma which is practiced as the means for Liberation (Mokṣa). A pure intellect understands that transgression of the teachings of Dharma is the cause of fear and the following of the teachings is the cause of fearlessness. It reveals the causes of bondage and Liberation — the true nature of Samsāra and deliverance from it.
