सर्वभूतेषु येनैकं भावमव्ययमीक्षते ।
अविभक्तं विभक्तेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि सात्त्विकम् ॥ १८-२०॥

पृथक्त्वेन तु यज्ज्ञानं नानाभावान्पृथग्विधान् ।
वेत्ति सर्वेषु भूतेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि राजसम् ॥ १८-२१॥

यत्तु कृत्स्नवदेकस्मिन्कार्ये सक्तमहैतुकम् ।
अतत्त्वार्थवदल्पं च तत्तामसमुदाहृतम् ॥ १८-२२॥

sarvabhooteshu yenaikam bhaavamavyayameekshate ।
avibhaktam vibhakteshu tajjnyaanam viddhi saattvikam ॥ 18-20 ॥

pri’thaktvena tu yajjnyaanam naanaabhaavaanpri’thagvidhaan ।
vetti sarveshu bhooteshu tajjnyaanam viddhi raajasam ॥ 18-21 ॥

yattu kri’tsnavadekasminkaarye saktamahaitukam ।
atattvaarthavadalpam cha tattaamasamudaahri’tam ॥ 18-22 ॥

The Knowledge by which one beholds that one imperishable nature which is undevided in the different forms of all beings, know that knowledge arises from the stainless constitution.

The knowledge by which one notices as many kinds of nature as the different unconnected beings,  . know that knowledge arises from the passionate constitution.

The knowledge which makes one seemingly engrossed in a single action that is without any cause and insignificant being not based on reality that knowledge is said to arise from ignorant constitution.

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.- Albert Einstein
