Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 7, Verse 12

Krishna said
ये चैव सात्त्विका भावा राजसास्तामसाश्च ये।मत्त एवेति तान्विद्धि नत्वहं तेषु ते मयि ॥7.12॥

ye caiva sāttvikā bhāvā rājasāstāmasāśca yematta eveti tānviddhi natvahaṃ teṣu te mayi

Meaning

Krishna says all states of being, whether calm and clear (sattva), restless and driven (rajas), or dull and heavy (tamas), come from him. Yet he is not in them; they are in him.

हिंदी में अर्थ

कृष्ण कहते हैं कि सभी भाव, चाहे शांत और निर्मल सात्त्विक हों, चंचल राजसिक हों या भारी और आलसी तामसिक, मुझसे ही उत्पन्न हैं। पर मैं उनमें नहीं हूँ, वे मुझमें हैं।
