Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 11, Chapter 25, Text 01

SB 11.25.1

sri-bhagavan uvaca
gunanam asammisranam
 puman yena yatha bhavet
tan me purusa-varyedam
 upadharaya samsatah
 
Translation: 
 
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O best among men, please listen as I describe to you how the living entity attains a particular nature by association with individual material modes.
 
Purport: 
 
The word asammisra indicates that which is not mixed with anything else. Lord Krsna now explains how each of the three material modes (goodness, passion and ignorance), acting separately, causes a conditioned soul to manifest a particular type of existence. The living entity is ultimately transcendental to the modes of nature, being part and parcel of Lord Krsna, but in conditioned life he manifests material qualities. This is described in the following verses.
