सर्वयोनिषु कौन्तेय मूर्तयः सम्भवन्ति याः ।
तासां ब्रह्म महद्योनिरहं बीजप्रदः पिता ॥
సర్వయోనిషు కౌన్తేయ మూర్తయః సమ్భవన్తి యాః ।
తాసాం బ్రహ్మ మహద్యోనిరహం బీజప్రదః పితా ॥
sarvayoniṣu kaunteya mūrtayaḥ sambhavanti yāḥ |
tāsāṃ brahma mahadyonirahaṃ bījapradaḥ pitā ||
About chapter 14
Krishna explains the three qualities (guṇas) of nature that bind the soul: sattva (goodness), which binds through attachment to happiness and knowledge; rajas (passion), through attachment to action; and tamas (ignorance), through laziness and delusion. He describes how to recognise each, and the person who rises above all three through unwavering devotion.
