Translation

Even the food each person prefers is of three kinds, according to the three modes of material nature. The same is true of sacrifices, austerities and charity. Now hear of the distinctions between them.

Ka toit, mida inimesed eelistavad, jaguneb kolme kategooriasse, vastavalt materiaalse looduse kolmele guṇale. Sama kehtib ka ohverduste, askeeside ja heategevuse kohta. Kuula nüüd, millised on nendevahelised erinevused.

Purport

In terms of different situations in the modes of material nature, there are differences in the manner of eating and performing sacrifices, austerities and charities. They are not all conducted on the same level. Those who can understand analytically what kind of performances are in what modes of material nature are actually wise; those who consider all kinds of sacrifice or food or charity to be the same cannot discriminate, and they are foolish. There are missionary workers who advocate that one can do whatever he likes and attain perfection. But these foolish guides are not acting according to the direction of the scripture. They are manufacturing ways and misleading the people in general.

Vastavalt materiaalse looduse guṇade poolt loodud erinevatele olukordadele eksisteerib erinevaid viise nii söömiseks, ohverduste tegemiseks, askeesideks kui ka heategevuseks. Kõik ei soorita neid tegevusi mitte samal tasandil. Need, kes suudavad analüütiliselt mõista, millisesse guṇasse millised tegevused kuuluvad, on tõepoolest targad. Need, kes arvavad, et kõik ohverdused, toidud või heategevuslikud annetused on samaväärsed, on rumalad ega suuda asjade olemusel vahet teha. Leidub misjonäre, kes kuulutavad, et igaüks võib teha, mida iganes tahab, ning saavutada täiuslikkuse. Sellised rumalad õpetajad ei juhindu pühakirjade õpetustest. Nad leiutavad omi teid ning juhivad sedasi inimesi eksiteele.
