Verse 18.32

अधर्मं धर्ममिति या मन्यते तमसाऽऽवृता।सर्वार्थान्विपरीतांश्च बुद्धिः सा पार्थ तामसी।।18.32।।

adharmaṁ dharmam iti yā manyate tamasāvṛitā sarvārthān viparītānśh cha buddhiḥ sā pārtha tāmasī

Meaning

Yo, Arjuna, that brain of yours? If it's all dark and twisted, thinking wrong is right and everything's flipped, that's some straight-up dark energy.

Commentary

I've spilled the tea on the three types of intellect. Now let's get into the three types of firmness.
