प्रकृतिर्गुणसाम्यं वै प्रकृतेर्नात्मनो गुणाः । सत्त्वं रजस्तम इति स्थित्युत्पत्त्यन्तहेतवः ।। ११-२२-१२ ।।

sanskrit

Nature exists originally as the equilibrium of the three material modes, which pertain only to nature, not to the transcendental spirit soul. These modes — goodness, passion and ignorance — are the effective causes of the creation, maintenance and destruction of this universe. ।। 11-22-12 ।।
