Verse 3.29
Verse 3.29: “Those that are deluded by the Primal Nature’s constituentaspects, are involved in an attachment for the constituentaspects and their resulting actions. These feeble ones, the knowers of the part (truth), one who knows the whole (truth) should not unsettle. (184)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Those that are deluded by the powers of the Primal Nature’s constituent aspects (Gunas), are dragged into the whirlpool of actions. The senses being in contact with the movements of the Gunas, function according to their nature; yet, those persons shift, through a delusion, to themselves the authorship of the actions which are performed by these Gunas.
