"Let not world-objects be your mind’s master. Let them be, if at all, subservient to the mind. To be spiritual is not to look for one’s delight and fulfillment in the objects of the world. The mind that causes delight through any object can also provide delight without such an object. Delight in reality belongs to the mind alone. It is verily mind’s own gift."

<< Chapter 14 Verse 12 >>
< >

लोभः प्रवृत्तिरारम्भः कर्मणामशमः स्पृहा ।
रजस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे भरतर्षभ ॥ १४.१२ ॥

lobhaḥ pravṛttir-ārambhaḥ karmaṇām-aśamaḥ spṛhā |
rajasy-etāni jāyante vivṛddhe bharatarṣabha || 14.12 ||

   

In contrast, greed, activity, craving for fresh undertaking every time, restlessness and yearning for enjoyment are the characteristics of preponderant rajo-guṇa.
