tattvavittu mahābāho guṇakarmavibhāgayoḥ .\nguṇā guṇeṣu vartanta iti matvā na sajjate ||3-28||
O mighty-armed Arjun, illumined persons distinguish the soul as distinct from guṇas and karmas. They perceive that it is only the guṇas (in the shape of the senses, mind, and others) that move among the guṇas (in the shape of the objects of perception), and thus they do not get entangled in them.
