Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 18: Freedom through Renunciation
Bhagavad Gita 18.40
न तदस्ति पृथिव्यां वा दिवि देवेषु वा पुनः ।
सत्त्वं प्रकृतिजैर्मुक्तं यदेभिः स्यात्त्रिभिर्गुणैः ॥
na tadasti pṛthivyāṃ vā divi deveṣu vā punaḥ | sattvaṃ prakṛtijairmuktaṃ yadebhiḥ syāttribhirguṇaiḥ ||
There is no being on earth, nor in heaven among the gods, that is free from these three qualities born of nature.
Modern context
No being anywhere, on earth or among the gods, is free from the three gunas. Everyone has some mixture of clarity, restlessness and dullness. This is a humbling and also a compassionate thought. No one is purely good or purely bad. Everyone, including oneself, is a mix, and every person is working with the material nature has given them.
