श्रीभगवानुवाच ।
प्रकाशं च प्रवृत्तिं च मोहमेव च पाण्डव ।
न द्वेष्टि सम्प्रवृत्तानि न निवृत्तानि काङ्क्षति ॥
उदासीनवदासीनो गुणैर्यो न विचाल्यते ।
गुणा वर्तन्त इत्येवं योऽवतिष्ठति नेङ्गते ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

śrī-bhagavān uvāca |
prakāśaṁ ca pravṛttiṁ ca moham eva ca pāṇḍava |
na dveṣṭi sampravṛttāni na nivṛttāni kāṅkṣati ||

Translation

The Blessed Lord said: “O son of Pau, he who feels no aversion when illumination, activity, or illusion arise, nor craves them when they cease; (22) who remains indifferent, like a detached observer, whom the guas do not disturb, and who, knowing that it is merely the guas acting, remains steadfast and unshaken — [such is one who has transcended the guas]. (23)”
