Material Nature
From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest,
all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take
place. But one who attains to My abode, O son of Kunté, never
takes birth again. - BG 8:16 -
Material nature consists of three modes—goodness, passion and
ignorance. When the eternal living entity comes in contact with
nature, O mighty-armed Arjuna, he becomes conditioned by these
modes. - BG 14:5 -
Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego—all
together these eight constitute My separated material energies.
- BG 7:4 -
This material nature, which is one of My energies, is working
under My direction, O son of Kunté, producing all moving and
non-moving beings. Under its rule, this manifestation is created
and annihilated again and again. - BG 9:10 -
