That intellect which understands the creation and dissolution of life, what actions should
be done and what not, which discriminates between fear and fearlessness, bondage and
deliverance, that is Pure.
The intellect which does not understand what is right and what is wrong, and what
should be done and what not, is under the sway of Passion.
And that which, shrouded in Ignorance, thinks wrong right, and sees everything
perversely, O Arjuna, that intellect is ruled by Darkness.
The conviction and steady concentration by which the mind, the vitality and the senses are
controlled – O Arjuna! They are the product of Purity.
The conviction which always holds fast to rituals, to self-interest and wealth, for the sake
of what they may bring forth – that comes from Passion.
