When you place a vessel filled with water on a gas stove, the fire first reaches the burner, and then the heat from the flame warms the vessel until the water boils.
Similarly, Pure Consciousness initially reflects in our intellect, allowing us to become aware of the thoughts in our minds. These thoughts then prompt actions and reactions through our bodies.
Lord Krishna examined knowledge, action, and the actor about the three qualities. Now, he begins discussing the three types of intellect and fortitude based on these qualities.
The intellect that is predominantly Sattvic recognizes when to act and when to refrain from action. Its engagement in activity is not driven by selfish motives, nor does it withdraw out of fear of failure or laziness. It understands what causes fear and what does not.
It is aware of what constitutes duty and what does not, as well as having clear insight into concepts of bondage and liberation.
