prakāśhaṁ cha pravṛittiṁ cha moham eva cha pāṇḍava
na dveṣhṭi sampravṛittāni na nivṛittāni kāṅkṣhati || 22||

My Understanding : Krishna answered Arjuna’s questions as follows: To attain the stage of transcending the gunas and to remain unaffected by distractions, one must recognize the qualities associated with each guna. Satvaguna is characterized by light, knowledge, and a pleasing nature. Rajoguna is marked by activity, persistence, and a desire for results. Tamoguna is associated with tiredness, superstition, and ignorance. To progress toward Satvaguna, a person must cultivate the qualities of Satvaguna while avoiding the traits of Rajoguna and Tamoguna. Though the gunas naturally influence a person, one should allow them to act without letting the negative aspects of Rajoguna and Tamoguna take hold.As a person begins to embody the qualities of Satvaguna, they will naturally develop persistence, a sign of Rajoguna. It is important to recognize this without judgment, as feelings of jealousy from others may arise, which would reflect the influence of Tamoguna. At this stage, the qualities of Satvaguna may be less prominent, but this should not discourage the person from continuing their path.Krishna emphasized that one should not hate the actions related to Rajoguna and Tamoguna, nor should they seek to escape them. Hating these qualities is a reflection of Tamoguna, while desiring the qualities of Satvaguna is a form of attachment, which only strengthens Rajoguna. Instead, one should accept their actions without judgment, continuing to engage in them without attachment.Krishna also warned against the tendency to dislike those influenced by Rajoguna and Tamoguna while admiring those with Satvaguna qualities. This kind of comparison can create imbalance. It is important to recognize that all people are influenced by the gunas, and there are no inherently “good” or “bad” people. One should understand the workings of the gunas without reacting to them or judging others.
