O Nachkomme der Kuru-Dynastie, wenn Tamas vorherrscht, entstehen diese sicherlich: Dunkelheit (Nicht-Unterscheidung) und Untätigkeit, Unachtsamkeit und Verblendung.
O descendant of the Kuru dynasty, when tamas predominates these surely [i.e. without exception.-M.S.] come into being: non-discrimination and inactivity, inadvertence and delusion.
Dieser Vers beschreibt die Kennzeichen der Tamas-Vorherrschaft: Mangel an Klarheit, Trägheit, Vernachlässigung der Pflichten und eine tiefe Verblendung, die den Geist umhüllt.
When Tamas increases? darkness? a desire to do nothing? forgetfulness of ones duties and confusion ome into existence.Darkness Absence of discrimination.Apravritti Inertness extreme inactivity.Pramada (heedlessness) and Moha (delusion) are the effects of darkness. These are the characteristics or marks which indicate that Tamas is predominant. Tamas is a great stumbling block to spiritual progress and success in any walk of life. It must be destroyed at all costs. People mistake Tamas for Sattva or Santi (peace). They take the Tamasic man for a silent Yogi All is Prarabdha Everything is Maya There is no world Why should I work Work will bind me. I am Brahman. This is not spirituality but pure and thick Tamas.
