Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 02, Verse 45

English:

Traigunyavishayaa vedaa nistraigunyo bhavaarjuna
Nirdvandwo nityasatvastho niryogakshema aatmavaan

Sanskrit: 

त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन
निरद्वन्दो नित्यसत्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेमों आत्मवान

Oriya: 

ତ୍ରୈଗୁଣ୍ୟବିଷୟା ବେଦା ନିସ୍ତ୍ରୈଗୁଣ୍ୟୋ ଭବାର୍ଜୁନ
ନିରଦ୍ଵନ୍ଦୋ ନିତ୍ୟସତ୍ଵସ୍ଥୋ ନିରଯୋଗକ୍ଷେମୋ ଆତ୍ମବାନ

Selected word meaning:
trai gunya - pertaining to the three modes of material nature (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas), vishayah - on the subject matter, vedah - Vedic scriptures, nistraigunyah - transcendent to the three modes of material nature, bhava - be, arjuna - O Arjuna, nirdvandah - free from duality, nitya sattva sthah - ever remaining in a state of satva (pure spiritual consciousness), niryoga kshemah - free from (the thought of) acquisition and preservation, atma vaan - self realized

Translation:
O Arjuna, the Vedic scriptures deal with the subject of the three modes of material nature. Become self realized, transcendent to these three modes. Be free from all dualities and from all anxieties for gain and safety, and be established in the Self, the state of pure spiritual consciousness.

Further Note:
This verse of Bhagavad Gita has prime importance in the life of Sri Thakura Nigamananda Paramahansa. Nalinikanta was his name before taking snnyas. His association with his wife stayed only for a few years after marriage. Nalinikanta was not present when his beloved wife breathed her last. His wife, on death bed told her aunt to tell her husband, Nalinikanta, to practice 'Nistraigunya' and not get married again. Nalinikanta was obsessed with her wife and followed her words and did not marry after her death. Instead, he started his spiritual quest for existence of life after death and became a prominent yogi of modern India.
