Bhagavad Gita · Karma YogaChapter 3, Shloka 28 (3.28)

"Guṇā guṇeṣu vartante" — the gunas among the gunas.

• Shankaracharya: guṇāḥ karaṇātmakāḥ guṇeṣu viṣayātmakeṣu vartante na ātmā — the gunas in the form of the senses move among the gunas in the form of objects; the self does not. Guṇa-vibhāga and karma-vibhāga (the divisions of gunas and of actions) — the one who knows the truth of both.
• Acharya Ramanuja: guṇāḥ sattvādayaḥ sva-guṇeṣu sveṣu kāryeṣu vartante — the gunas, sattva and the rest, move in their own respective activities — thinking this, he does not cling to the actions of the gunas with the feeling "I am the doer".

The eye sees, the ears hear. A simple example: the eye sees form, the tongue tastes — one part of prakriti is meeting another part of prakriti. The wise one watches this "give and take", but does not make it their identity.
