Meaning

Yo, Arjuna, Rajas is all about that passionate energy, that thirst for more, that major attachment. It's a total vibe killer, binding you to the grind because of your obsession with actions.

Commentary

Okay, so Rajas is all about that go-getter energy, that hustle. It's like, major thirst and attachment – you're glued to chasing that bag and clout. It's a total trap, binding you to the grind. You're obsessed with achieving, always striving for more. It's like, you're doing all these sacrifices and rituals, chasing clout and flexing, but it's never enough. You're always craving more, like a bottomless pit. You think you're the one in control, the big boss, but nah, you're just a puppet of your own desires. It's a vicious cycle, the more you get, the more you want. Your judgment is clouded, you're blinded by the bling, mistaking pain for pleasure, and loss for gain. It's all about the money, the fame, the status. You're always stressed, always hustling, never satisfied. You're clinging to the outcome, to the results, to the validation. It's a total mindf***.
