MODE OF GOODNESS/SATOGUN

सर्वभूतेषु येनैकं भावमव्ययमीक्षते |
अविभक्तं विभक्तेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि सात्त्विकम् ||18.20||

 Understand that knowledge to be in the mode of goodness by which a person sees one undivided imperishable reality within all diverse living beings.


1. Sajātīya bhed śhūnya. (He is one with all similar entities.) 

2. Vijātīya bhed śhūnya. (He is one with all dissimilar entities.)

3. Swagat bhed śhūnya. (The various parts of his body are non-different from him.)

4. Swayam siddha. (He needs the support of no other entity.) 




That knowledge is to be considered in the mode of passion by which one sees manifold living entities in diverse bodies as individual and unconnected.

That knowledge is said to be in the mode of ignorance where one is engrossed in a fragmental concept as if it encompasses the whole, and which is neither grounded in reason nor based on the truth.
