The Gita – Chapter 17 – Shloka 1

Shloka 1

 अर्जुन बोले —–हे कृष्ण ! जो मनुष्य शास्त्र विधि को त्याग कर श्रद्बा से युक्त्त हुए देवादि का पूजन करते हैं, उनकी स्थिति फिर कौन से है ? सात्विकी है ; अथवा राजसी किंवा तामसी ।। १ ।।

Arjuna asked the Lord:
What becomes of those people who do not obey the rules outlined by the Holy Scriptures yet perform ritual sacrifices with great faith and devotion? Are these people considered Saatvic (representing good), Rajas (representing passionate activity) or Tamas (immersed in total darkness and evil)?
