Verse 14.12

लोभः प्रवृत्तिरारम्भः कर्मणामशमः स्पृहा।रजस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे भरतर्षभ।।14.12।।

lobhaḥ pravṛittir ārambhaḥ karmaṇām aśhamaḥ spṛihā rajasy etāni jāyante vivṛiddhe bharatarṣhabha

Meaning

Arjuna, major thirst, always going, starting stuff, super restless, and craving more? That's Rajas taking over, my dude.

Commentary

Bro, so like, greed, always tryna do stuff, starting things, being hella restless, and yearning for more? That's all Rajas energy, Arjuna. It's not like, *actually* doing stuff for the greater good, even if it seems that way. It's all about the personal gain, you know? Like, you think you're super productive, running around non-stop, but actually, you're just vibing in Rajas mode. True productivity is chill, man. It's like, a super fast spinning wheel that looks still. That's Sattva. It's paradoxical, I know, but that's the tea.
