Karmanah sukritasyahuh sattvikam nirmalam phalam, rajasas tu phalam duhkham ajnanam tamasah phalam

The result of pious action is said to be pure sattva. The result of rajasic action is distress. The result of tamasic action is ignorance. Each guna generates its corresponding fruit — goodness yields purity, passion yields suffering, ignorance yields further ignorance.

  • Sattvic action yields purity and peace
  • Rajasic action yields distress and dissatisfaction
  • Tamasic action deepens ignorance and confusion
