The Blessed Lord

Verse

सत्त्वात्सञ्जायते ज्ञानं रजसो लोभ एव च ।प्रमादमोहौ तमसो भवतोऽज्ञानमेव च ॥

sattvātsañjāyate jñānaṁ rajaso lobha eva capramādamohau tamaso bhavato’jñānameva ca

Gītā 14·17

From sattwa knowledge is born, and greed from rajas; negligence and delusion are of tamas, and also ignorance.

Sattwa in mind—clearness of mind; we get knowledge.
