SB 12.8.46
tasmat taveha bhagavann atha tavakanam
suklam tanum sva-dayitam kusala bhajanti
yat satvatah purusa-rupam usanti sattvam
loko yato ’bhayam utatma-sukham na canyat
Translation:
O Lord, because fearlessness, spiritual happiness and the kingdom of God are all achieved through the mode of pure goodness, Your devotees consider this mode, but never passion and ignorance, to be a direct manifestation of You, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Intelligent persons thus worship Your beloved transcendental form, composed of pure goodness, along with the spiritual forms of Your pure devotees.
Purport:
Intelligent persons do not worship the demigods, who represent the modes of passion and ignorance. Lord Brahma represents passion, Lord Siva represents ignorance, and demigods such as Indra also represent the modes of material nature. But Lord Visnu, or Narayana, represents pure spiritual goodness, which brings one realization of the spiritual world, freedom from fear, and spiritual bliss. Such benefits can never be derived from impure, material goodness, for it is always mixed with the modes of passion and ignorance. As clearly indicated in this verse, the transcendental form of God is fully constituted of eternal spiritual goodness and thus has no tinge of the material mode of goodness, passion or ignorance.
