Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 14: The Three Qualities of Nature
Bhagavad Gita 14.22
प्रकाशं च प्रवृत्तिं च मोहमेव च पाण्डव ।
न द्वेष्टि सम्प्रवृत्तानि न निवृत्तानि काङ्क्षति ॥
prakāśaṃ ca pravṛttiṃ ca mohameva ca pāṇḍava | na dveṣṭi sampravṛttāni na nivṛttāni kāṅkṣati ||
One who does not hate light, activity, or delusion when they arise, Arjuna, and does not long for them when they have ceased;
Modern context
The first sign: such a person does not hate light, activity or confusion when they come, and does not long for them when they go. Clarity arrives, and they do not grasp it. Restlessness arrives, and they do not fight it. Dullness arrives, and they do not panic. Each guna is allowed to come and go like weather. This is not passivity; it is deep equanimity.
