प्रवृत्तिंच निवृत्तिं च कार्याकार्ये भयाभये |
बन्धं मोक्षं च या वेत्तिबुद्धि: सा पार्थ सात्त्विकी ||30||
बन्धं मोक्षं च या वेत्तिबुद्धि: सा पार्थ सात्त्विकी ||30||
That intellect which knows the paths of action and renunciation, what ought to be done and what ought not to be done, fear and fearlessness, bondage and liberation, that is sattvic, O Partha.
- Pravṛttiṃ: Activity.
- Nivṛttiṃ: Inactivity.
- Kāryākārye: What should and should not be done.
- Bandhamoḳṣaṃ: Bondage and liberation.
Sattvic intellect possesses discernment that transcends superficial appearances, recognizing both what promotes spiritual freedom and what causes bondage. This discriminative wisdom enables correct choices even in complex ethical situations, providing inner certainty amid outer confusion.
