Bhagavad Geeta 7.12

Sanskrit

ये चैव सात्त्विका भावा राजसास्तामसाश्च ये। मत्त एवेति तान्विद्धि नत्वहं तेषु ते मयि।।7.12।।

ye chaiva sāttvikā bhāvā rājasās tāmasāśh cha ye matta eveti tān viddhi na tvahaṁ teṣhu te mayi

Meaning

Everything around you—order, chaos, and inertia—originates from universal principles, yet you remain separate from them. Lead by understanding these forces without being controlled by them.

Translation

Those things that are made of the quality of sattva, and those things that are made of the quality of rajas and tamas, know them to have sprung from Me alone. However, I am not in them; they are within Me!
