Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 14 verse 17

 Chapter 14 verse 17 

“From the mode of goodness arises knowledge, from the mode of passion arises greed, and from the mode of ignorance arise negligence and delusion.” 

Explaining further why actions performed in different gunas leads to different results, Bhagwan says sattvic activity promotes purity, good intentions and wisdom to discern right from wrong and follow dharma. While rajasic action fosters passion and attachment to the material pleasures and traps such as greed, desire, jealously, avarice, lust etc. Finally tamasic action arises from ignorance of what is right or wrong and inclination towards adharma or complete ignorance of dharma. No wonder these states results in different results of action!
