Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 14, Verse 22

Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga

श्रीभगवानुवाच । प्रकाशं च प्रवृत्तिं च मोहमेव च पाण्डव । न द्वेष्टि सम्प्रवृत्तानि न निवृत्तानि काङ्क्षति ॥ २२ ॥

śhrī-bhagavān uvācha prakāśhaṁ cha pravṛittiṁ cha moham eva cha pāṇḍava na dveṣhṭi sampravṛittāni na nivṛittāni kāṅkṣhati

Translation

The Blessed Lord said: Light, activity and delusion, O son of Pandu: such a one does not hate them when they arise, nor long for them when they cease.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

श्रीभगवान बोले: हे पाण्डव! प्रकाश (सत्त्व का कार्य), प्रवृत्ति (रज का कार्य) और मोह (तम का कार्य), इनके प्रवृत्त होने पर जो इनसे द्वेष नहीं करता और निवृत्त होने पर इनकी इच्छा नहीं करता,

Commentary

The first answer is about marks. Light, activity and delusion are the typical products of sattva, rajas and tamas. The one beyond the gunas still experiences all three, since having a body means the gunas keep moving, but neither resents their arrival nor clings to them when they go.
