SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 14 Text 9

sattvam sukhe sanjayati
rajah karmani bharata
jnanam avrtya tu tamah
pramade sanjayaty uta

sattvam--the mode of goodness; sukhe--in happiness; sanjayati--binds; rajah--the mode of passion; karmani--in fruitive activity; bharata--O son of Bharata; jnanam--knowledge; avrtya--covering; tu--but; tamah--the mode of ignorance; pramade--in madness; sanjayati--binds; uta--it is said.

TRANSLATION

O son of Bharata, the mode of goodness conditions one to happiness; passion conditions one to fruitive action; and ignorance, covering one's knowledge, binds one to madness.
