In this episode, Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches chapter 14, verse 6 of the Bhagavad Gita.

Chapter 14 is devoted to an understanding of the Gunatreya Vibhaga Yoga, or the three qualities/components of Maya. The entire universe is created by a projection of the three gunas - satva, rajas, and tamas.

Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 14, Verse 6 | Swami Sarvapriyananda

तत्र सत्त्वं निर्मलत्वात्प्रकाशकमनामयम् | सुखसङ्गेन बध्नाति ज्ञानसङ्गेन चानघ || 6|| tatra sattvaṁ nirmalatvāt prakāśhakam anāmayam sukha-saṅgena badhnāti jñāna-saṅgena chānagha

⧫ Of these, Satva, on account of its stainlessness, is luminous and free from evil. Oh sinless one [Arjuna], it binds the embodied self by attachment to happiness and, by attachment to knowledge.
