The Blessed Lord said:
1. Again shall I tell you that supreme knowledge which is above all knowledge, having known which all the Munis have attained to high perfection after this life.
2. They who having devoted themselves to this knowledge, have attained to My Being, are neither born at the time of creation, nor are they troubled at the time of dissolution.
3. My womb is the great Prakriti; in that I place the germ; from thence, O descendant of Bharata, is the birth of all beings.
4. Whatever forms are produced, O son of Kunti, in all the wombs, the great Prakriti is their womb, and I the seed-giving Father.
5. Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas—these Gunas, O mighty-armed, born of Prakriti, bind fast in the body the indestructible embodied one.
6. Of these Sattva, from its stainlessness luminous and free from evil, binds, O sinless one, by attachment to happiness, and by attachment to knowledge.
7. Know Rajas to be of the nature of passion, giving rise to thirst and attachment; it binds fast, O son of Kunti, the embodied one, by attachment to action.
8. And know Tamas to be born of ignorance, stupefying all embodied beings; it binds fast, O descendant of Bharata, by miscomprehension, indolence, and sleep.
—Bhagavad Gita, 14:1-8
