सत्त्वं सुखे सञ्जयति रजः कर्मणि भारत । ज्ञानमावृत्य तु तमः प्रमादे सञ्जयत्युत ॥ ९ ॥
sattvaṁ sukhe sañjayati rajaḥ karmaṇi bhārata jñānam āvṛitya tu tamaḥ pramāde sañjayaty uta
Translation
Sattva attaches one to happiness, rajas to action, O Bharat, while tamas, veiling knowledge, attaches one to carelessness.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
हे भारत! सत्त्वगुण सुख में लगाता है, रजोगुण कर्म में, और तमोगुण ज्ञान को ढककर प्रमाद में लगाता है।
Commentary
This is a one-line summary of verses 6–8. Each guna has its own "glue": happiness, activity or heedlessness. Knowing which glue is at work in a given moment is the first step to loosening it.
