sattvikah karako ’sangi

 ragandho rajasah smrtah

tamasah smrti-vibhrasto

 nirguno mad-apasrayah

 

Translation: 

 

A worker free of attachment is in the mode of goodness, a worker blinded by personal desire is in the mode of passion, and a worker who has completely forgotten how to tell right from wrong is in the mode of ignorance. But a worker who has taken shelter of Me is understood to be transcendental to the modes of nature.

 

Purport: 

 

A transcendental worker performs his activities in strict accordance with the directions of Lord Krsna and the Lord’s bona fide representatives. Taking shelter of the Lord’s guidance, such a worker remains transcendental to the material modes of nature.
