Context:
नियतं सङ्गरहितमरागद्वेषतः कृतम् ।
अफलप्रेप्सुना कर्म यत्तत्सात्त्विकमुच्यते ॥
23. An ordained action done without love or hatred by one not desirous of the fruit and free from attachment is declared to be Sättvika.

यत्तु कामेप्सुना कर्म साहङ्कारेण वा पुनः ।
क्रियते बहुलायासं तद्राजसमुदाहृतम्॥
24. But the action which is performed desiring results, or with self-conceit and with much effort, is declared to be Rājasika.

अनुबन्धं क्षयं हिंसामनपेक्ष्य च पौरुषम् ।
मोहादारभ्यते कर्म यत्तत्तामसमुच्यते ॥
25. That action is declared to be Tamasika which is undertaken through delusion, without heed to the consequence, loss (of power and wealth), injury (to others), and (one's own) ability.
~Shrimad Bhagwad Gita (Chapter-18, Verse-23,24,25)

~ What is meant by Satvik action?
~ What is meant by Tamsik action?
~ What are three Gunas of Prakriti?
~ Can we do action without the desire of the fruit?
~ Why are some actions done without paying heed to consequences?
