“Since ‘sattvaguṇa’ is a radiance that is still, pure and selfless, those who have this guṇa remain free of every desire. Only one who has no desires is fit for Ātma-Jñāna. In the karmas of one who has ‘rajoguṇa’ there is some taint: though he has the wish to help others, he seeks the fruit and fame from it, and along with helping others he seeks his own interest as well. The knowledge of one who has ‘tamoguṇa’ is darkness, so he cannot tell what ought to be done and what ought not. As long as these three guṇas remain, one cannot become changeless and attain Mokṣa, which is beyond the guṇas. The Puruṣa dwells in Prakṛti, and so it appears as though he were experiencing the guṇas that belong to Prakṛti; it has become clear that to remove this illusion is the inquiry into the kṣetra. For the sādhaka, Jñāna and jñeya are the principal matters. Understand that for the jñāni good qualities are what matter most, and that the sākṣātkāra of God is the jñeya.”
