Bhagavad Gita 14.16

They say the fruit of a meritorious action is spotless and pure; the outcome of passion is misery, and of ignorance, darkness.

कर्मणः सुकृतस्याहुः सात्त्विकं निर्मलं फलम्।रजसस्तु फलं दुःखमज्ञानं तमसः फलम्॥

karmaṇaḥ sukṛtasyāhuḥ sāttvikaṃ nirmalaṃ phalam|rajasastu phalaṃ duḥkhamajñānaṃ tamasaḥ phalam||
