Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verse 27

Krishna said

रागी कर्मफलप्रेप्सुर्लुब्धो हिंसात्मकोऽशुचिः।हर्षशोकान्वितः कर्ता राजसः परिकीर्तितः ॥18.27॥

rāgī karmaphalaprepsurlubdho hiṃsātmako'śuciḥharṣaśokānvitaḥ kartā rājasaḥ parikīrtitaḥ

Meaning

The doer who is driven by attachment, craves the fruits of work, is greedy, harmful, impure, and tossed between joy and sorrow, is called rajasic.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो कर्ता मोह में बँधा है, कर्म के फल का लालची है, लोभी, दूसरों को चोट पहुँचाने वाला, अशुद्ध है, और खुशी-दुख में डोलता रहता है, वह राजसिक कहलाता है।

Practise it today

Notice the moment your mood rises or falls with a result today, such as a mark, a like or a target. Take three slow breaths before reacting.

Reflect tonight

Which result swung your mood most today? Did the breaths help you steady it?
