सत्त्वं रजस्तम इति प्रकृतेर्नात्मनो गुणाः । तत्र साक्षिणमात्मानं यो वेद न स बध्यते ।। ६-१२-१५ ।।

One who knows that the three qualities — goodness, passion and ignorance — are not qualities of the soul but qualities of material nature, and who knows that the pure soul is simply an observer of the actions and reactions of these qualities, should be understood to be a liberated person. He is not bound by these qualities. ।। 6-12-15 ।।

english translation

जो पुरुष यह जानता है कि सतो, रजो तथा तमो गुण—ये तीनों आत्मा के नहीं, वरन् भौतिक प्रकृति के गुण हैं और जो यह जानता है कि शुद्ध आत्मा इन गुणों के कर्मों तथा फलों का साक्षी मात्र है, उसे मुक्त पुरुष मानना चाहिए। वह इन गुणों से नहीं बंधता। ।। ६-१२-१५ ।।
