Acts have the three Gunas (of Satva Rajas, and Tamas) for their soul. The Vedas say this. The Mantras, therefore, have the same three qualities, since it is with Mantras that acts are performed. The ritual also is possessed by the same three qualities. The fruits of action depend upon the mind. It is the embodied creature who enjoys those fruits.
स्तस्मान्मन्त्रो मन्त्रपूर्वं हि कर्म। विधिविधेयं मनसोपपत्तिः फलस्य भोक्ता तु तथा शरीरी॥
