Page:Bhagavad Gita - Annie Besant 4th edition.djvu/203

 Know thou that Matter and Spirit are both without beginning; and know thou also that modifications and qualities are all Matter -born.

Matter is called the cause of the generation of causes and effects; Spirit is called the cause of the enjoyment of pleasure and pain.

Spirit seated in Matter useth the qualities born of Matter ; attachment to the qualities is the cause of his births in good and evil wombs.
