सत्त्वं चाभिजयेद् युक्तो नैरपेक्ष्येण शान्तधी: । सम्पद्यते गुणैर्मुक्तो जीवो जीवं विहाय माम् ॥ ३५ ॥
sattvaṁ cābhijayed yukto nairapekṣyeṇa śānta-dhīḥ sampadyate guṇair mukto jīvo jīvaṁ vihāya mām
- sattvam
- the mode of goodness
- ca
- also
- abhijayet
- he should conquer
- yuktaḥ
- engaged in devotional service
- nairapekṣyeṇa
- by being indifferent to the modes
- śānta
- pacified
- dhīḥ
- whose intelligence
- sampadyate
- he achieves
- guṇaiḥ
- from the modes of nature
- muktaḥ
- liberated
- jīvaḥ
- the living entity
- jīvam
- the cause of his being conditioned
- vihāya
- giving up
- mām
- Me
Then, being fixed in devotional service, the sage should also conquer the material mode of goodness by indifference toward the modes. Thus pacified within his mind, the spirit soul, freed from the modes of nature, gives up the very cause of his conditioned life and attains Me.
