Bhagavad Gita 17.1 — A question on faith
अर्जुन उवाच। ये शास्त्रविधिमुत्सृज्य यजन्ते श्रद्धयान्विताः। तेषां निष्ठा तु का कृष्ण सत्त्वमाहो रजस्तमः ॥
arjuna uvāca | ye śāstravidhimutsṛjya yajante śraddhayānvitāḥ | teṣāṃ niṣṭhā tu kā kṛṣṇa sattvamāho rajastamaḥ ||
Meaning
Arjuna asks: O Krishna, what about those who set aside the rules of scripture but worship with faith? Is their state sattvic, rajasic or tamasic?
