Meaning

The OG Lord said, "Yo, when it's all light, action, and chill vibes, they ain't hating, and they ain't craving it when it's gone."

Commentary

Okay, so like, this is the tea on Arjuna's first question. Sattva is, like, the good vibes, Rajas is all about the hustle, and Tamas is the total chill-out mode. A woke sage isn't gonna, like, hate on any of those vibes when they're happening. When Sattva's shining bright, they're not gonna be all, 'OMG, I'm so smart!' When the action's popping off, or they're on a mission to save the world, they're not gonna be tripping about it. No regrets, fam. It's all good. When the chill is real, they're not gonna be all, 'I'm so messed up, I'm totally clueless.' Only a total noob is gonna be like, 'Ugh, Tamas got me, I'm such a mess.' A real G doesn't sweat the Gunas. They don't crave that Sattva glow, that Rajas hustle, or that Tamas chill when it's gone. It's all internal, you know? Only they can feel it. If you've got, like, psychic powers, you might see it, but otherwise, it's all in their head. Next up, the Lord spills the tea on Arjuna's second question: What's the deal with a sage who's totally transcended the Gunas?
