Bhagavad Gita 17.2

श्री भगवानुवाच · śrī bhagavānuvāca

त्रिविधा भवति श्रद्धा देहिनां सा स्वभावजा।सात्त्विकी राजसी चैव तामसी चेति तां श्रृणु॥

trividhā bhavati śraddhā dehināṃ sā svabhāvajā |sāttvikī rājasī caiva tāmasī ceti tāṃ śrṛṇu ||

The Blessed Lord said, "There are threefold faiths inherent in the nature of the embodied: the sattvic (pure), the rajasic (passionate), and the tamasic (dark). Hear of them."

Lord Shri Krishna replied: Man has an inherent faith in one or another of the qualities—purity, passion, and ignorance. Now, listen.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
