यया धर्ममधर्मं च कार्यं चाकार्यमेव च | अयथावत्प्रजानाति बुद्धिः सा पार्थ राजसी
yayā dharmamadharmaṃ ca kāryaṃ cākāryameva ca . ayathāvatprajānāti buddhiḥ sā pārtha rājasī
Ô Pārtha, cet intellect est de nature rajasique, celui par lequel on comprend de manière erronée le dharma et l'adharma, ainsi que ce qui doit être fait et ce qui ne doit pas l'être.
O Partha, that intellect is born of rajas with which one wrongly understands virtue and vice as also what ought to be done and ought not to be done.
L'intellect rajasique est incapable de distinguer correctement le dharma (ce qui est juste, vertueux et conforme à l'ordre cosmique et moral) de l'adharma (ce qui est injuste, vicieux et contraire à cet ordre). Il perçoit de manière déformée ce qui doit être accompli et ce qui doit être évité, souvent sous l'influence de la passion et de l'attachement aux résultats.
There is no proper eivalent in the English language for the word Dharma. Duty? righteousness? virtue? law are very poor translations of the word. That which elevates you and takes you to the goal? i.e.? Brahman or the Self? is Dharma. That which hurls you down into the dark abyss of ignorance is Adharma. What is ordained in the scriptures is Dharma what is prohibited by them is Adharma. A Rajasic intellect is not able to distinguish between right and wrong or to understand the difference between righteous and unrighteous actions.Ayathavat Wrongly Contrary to what is determined by all authorities or men of wisdom or to the highest knowledge.
