Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 27 & 28

8th December 2024


Success often leads to more success, but it’s important to consider what it costs to achieve it. Frequently, success comes with various drawbacks, including strained relationships, stress, and personal sacrifices.

A Rajasic doer is primarily focused on their success. They have a strong attachment to the outcomes of their actions and are often covetous, harsh, and impure in nature. As a result, they experience the ups and downs that come with their achievements.

On the other hand, some individuals avoid effort altogether and instead benefit from the work of others. They tend to remain stagnant, ignorant, and stuck in the darkness of delusion.

Lord Krishna describes the characteristics of a Tamasic doer: "He who is unsteady, naive, unbending, deceitful, wicked, lazy, morose, and procrastinating."
