Meaning

But like, that knowledge that's all, 'Oh, this thing is totally different from that thing,' you know, that's some straight-up Rajasic knowledge.

Commentary

Yo, so like, knowledge that's all about seeing everything as totally separate, vibing on its own thing? Yeah, that's some straight-up Rajasic energy. It's not about *doing* stuff, it's about *seeing* things as totally different entities, ya know? Like, different bodies, different souls, all that. It's all about that separation vibe, and it's a total mindf***, even for the smartest peeps. It's like, you're stuck seeing everything as separate, and you lose sight of the whole big picture, the unity of it all. It's all about the differences, big or small, and that's passion, baby. It's all about the differences, big or small, and that's passion, baby. It's like, you only see the individual parts, not the whole thing. Arjuna, I'm 'bout to drop some knowledge on you about the dark side of knowledge, so you can avoid that mess.
