Krishna said
सत्त्वात्सञ्जायते ज्ञानं रजसो लोभ एव च।प्रमादमोहौ तमसो भवतोऽज्ञानमेव च ॥14.17॥

sattvātsañjāyate jñānaṃ rajaso lobha eva capramādamohau tamaso bhavato'jñānameva ca

Meaning

From sattva comes understanding, from rajas comes greed, and from tamas come carelessness, confusion and ignorance.

हिंदी में अर्थ

सत्त्व से ज्ञान पैदा होता है, रजस से लोभ, और तमस से लापरवाही, मोह और अज्ञान।

Practise it today

Before an important decision today, wait until you feel calm and rested. If you feel greedy or foggy, postpone it for a few hours.

Did you make any decision in a hurry or fog today? What would a calm you have chosen?
