Chapter 14 verse 11-13
“When all the gates of the body are illumined by knowledge, know it to be a manifestation of the mode of goodness. When the mode of passion predominates, O Arjuna, the symptoms of greed, exertion for worldly gain, restlessness, and craving develop. O Arjuna, darkness, inertia, negligence, and delusion—these are the dominant signs of the mode of ignorance.”
Further
Bhagwan explains that indicator of Sattva guna is goodness and knowledge.
Greed, worldly pursuits for material gain, craving for material things and
restlessness are symptoms of rajo guna. Sloth, laziness, darkness, inertia and
negligence are the dominant signs of tamo guna. If we are constantly in supreme
consciousness mode, these 3 gunas will not affect our mind, intellect and ego.
That’s the reason why sadhana or spiritual practice is needed to control the
body, mind, intellect, ego complex.
