लोभः प्रवृत्तिरारम्भः कर्मणामशमः स्पृहा | रजस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे भरतर्षभ
lobhaḥ pravṛttirārambhaḥ karmaṇāmaśamaḥ spṛhā . rajasyetāni jāyante vivṛddhe bharatarṣabha
婆羅多族中最勝者啊，當羅闍（Rajas）增長時，這些便會產生：貪婪、活動、發起行動、不安和渴求。
O best of the Bharata dynasty, when rajas becomes predominant, these come into being: avarice, movement, undertaking of actions, unrest and hankering.
貪婪（Greed）是指貪圖、渴望佔有他人財產，或在已有足夠財富的情況下仍渴望擁有更多。活動（Pravritti）泛指一般的行動。不安（Asamah）是指因喜悅、執著等而心神不寧。他會想：「我先做這個，然後再做那個行動。完成第二個後，我會再做第三個，如此循環。」慾望、意志和行動的連續性永無止境，這就是不安。渴求（Spriha）是指對所有感官對象的普遍渴望或嚮往。這些都是羅闍（Rajas）佔主導地位的特徵。不要將羅闍（Rajas）的躁動或活動誤認為是「業瑜伽」（Karma Yoga）或神聖的活動。人們可能會說他們在為世界做無私的服務，但如果你分析他們的動機，總會以某種形式帶有個人慾望的痕跡。許多人甚至一刻也無法安靜坐著，他們認為到處走動或做些什麼就是充滿活力。然而，透過平靜心靈而靜坐，身體上什麼都不做的瑜伽士或聖者，卻是全世界最活躍的人；而那些到處奔波、總是忙碌的人，卻什麼也沒做。這對你來說可能有些矛盾，很少有人能理解這句話的真相。悅性（Sattva）是高度的活動，一個快速旋轉的輪子看起來像是靜止的，悅性（Sattva）亦是如此，悅性（Sattvic）之人亦是如此。
Greed Covetousness Desire to appropriate the property of others a desire to possess more wealth though one has sufficient already.Pravritti Action in general.Asamah Restlessness being agitated by joy? attachment? etc. I will do this and then I wil take up that action. After finishing the second? I will take up the third? and so on. There is no end to the continuity of desire? will and action. This is called Asama or restlessness.Spriha Thirsting or longing for all sensual objects in general.These are the characteristic marks that indicate that Rajas is predominant.Do not mistake Rajasic restlessness or Rajasic movements for Karma Yoga or divine activity. People may say that they are doing selfless service to the world? but if you analyse their motives,there will be the taint of personal desire in some form or other. Many persons cannot sit iet even for a moment. They think that moving about here and there or doing some action or other is to full of life. The Yogi or sage who sits still by calming the mind? who does nothing at all physically? is the most active man in the whole world whereas the man who runs here and there and who is always very busy does nothing at all. This may be paradoxical to you. Very few can comprehend the truth of this statement. Sattva is intense activity. A wheel that revolves very rapidly appears to be at rest. So is Sattva. So is a Sattvic man.
