श्रीभगवानुवाच । त्रिविधा भवति श्रद्धा देहिनां सा स्वभावजा । सात्त्विकी राजसी चैव तामसी चेति तां शृणु ॥ २ ॥
śhrī-bhagavān uvācha tri-vidhā bhavati śhraddhā dehināṁ sā svabhāva-jā sāttvikī rājasī chaiva tāmasī cheti tāṁ śhṛiṇu
Translation
The Blessed Lord said: The faith of embodied beings, born of their own nature, is of three kinds: sattvic, rajasic and tamasic. Hear about it.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
श्रीभगवान बोले: देहधारियों की स्वभाव से उत्पन्न श्रद्धा तीन प्रकार की होती है, सात्त्विकी, राजसी और तामसी। उसके बारे में सुनो।
Commentary
Krishna's answer shifts the focus from whether someone follows the rules to what kind of faith they have. Faith is svabhava-ja, "born of one's nature": shaped by one's tendencies and past. Everyone has faith of some kind; the question is its quality.
