How they are differently conditioned is explained in this section of #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i#. The mode of goodness is first considered. The effect of developing the mode of goodness in the material world is that one becomes wiser than those otherwise conditioned. A man in the mode of goodness is not so much affected by material miseries, and he has a sense of advancement in material knowledge. The representative type is the #i#brāhmaṇa#/i#, who is supposed to be situated in the mode of goodness. This sense of happiness is due to understanding that, in the mode of goodness, one is more or less free from sinful reactions. Actually, in the Vedic literature it is said that the mode of goodness means greater knowledge and a greater sense of happiness. #$p#The difficulty here is that when a living entity is situated in the mode of goodness, he becomes conditioned to feel that he is advanced in knowledge and is better than others. In this way he becomes conditioned. The best examples are the scientist and philosopher: each is very proud of his knowledge, and because they generally improve their living conditions, they feel a sort of material happiness. This sense of advanced happiness in conditioned life makes them bound by the mode of goodness of material nature. As such, they are attracted toward working in the mode of goodness, and, as long as they have an attraction for working in that way, they have to take some type of body in the modes of nature. Thus there is no likelihood of liberation, or of being transferred to the spiritual world. Repeatedly, one may become a philosopher, a scientist, or a poet, and, repeatedly, become entangled in the same disadvantages of birth and death. But, due to the illusion of the material energy, one thinks that that sort of life is pleasant. #/p# #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_6"#TEXT 6#/span##/h4# #div class="devanagari"# #dl##dd#तत्र सत्त्वं निर्मलत्वात्प्रकाशकमनामयम् ।#/dd# #dd#सुखसङ्गेन बध्नाति ज्ञानसङ्गेन चानघ ॥६॥#/dd##/dl# #/div# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#tatra sattvaṁ nirmalatvāt#/dd# #dd#prakāśakam anāmayam#/dd# #dd#sukha-saṅgena badhnāti#/dd# #dd#jñāna-saṅgena cānagha#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #p##i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tatra&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tatra#/i# — there; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sattvam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sattvam#/i# — the mode of goodness; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=nirmalatvāt&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#nirmalatvāt#/i# — being purest in the material world; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=prakāśakam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#prakāśakam#/i# — illuminating; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=anāmayam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#anāmayam#/i# — without any sinful reaction; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sukha&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sukha#/i# — with happiness; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=saṅgena&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#saṅgena#/i# — by association; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=badhnāti&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#badhnāti#/i# — conditions; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=jñāna&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#jñāna#/i# — with knowledge; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=saṅgena&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#saṅgena#/i# — by association; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ca&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ca#/i# — also; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=anagha&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#anagha#/i# — O sinless one. #/p# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# #p#O sinless one, the mode of goodness, being purer than the others, is illuminating, and it frees one from all sinful reactions.
