महाभारतः       mahābhārataḥ - book-12, chapter-293, verse-39

केवलं त्वभिमानित्वाद्गुणेष्वगुण उच्यते ॥३९॥

39. anādinidhanaḥ anantaḥ sarvadarśī nirāmayaḥ
kevalam tu abhimānitvāt guṇeṣu aguṇaḥ ucyate
39. The Self (ātman) is without beginning or end, infinite, all-seeing, and free from all affliction. However, it is only referred to as 'without qualities' (aguṇa) precisely due to its egoistic identification (abhimāna) with the constituents (guṇa) of material nature (prakṛti).
