Modes Of Material Nature 2 0f 3 "What are the Characteristics?"

What are your characteristics?

tatra sattvam nirmalatvat
prakasakam anamayam
sukha-sangena badhnati
jnana-sangena canagha


tatra--thereafter; sattvam--mode of goodness; nirmalatvat--being purest in the material world; prakasakam--illuminating; anamayam--without any sinful reaction; sukha--happiness; sangena--association; badhnati--conditions; jnana--knowledge; sangena--association; ca--also; anagha--O sinless one.

O sinless one, the mode of goodness being purer than the others, is illuminating, and it frees one from all sinful reactions. Those situated in that mode develop knowledge, but they become conditioned by the concept of happiness.

The mode of passion is born of unlimited desires and longings, O son of Kunti, and because of this one is bound to material fruitive activities.
