Chapter 18: Conclusionमोक्षसंन्यासयोग
18:25
“Action undertaken from delusion, without considering consequences, loss, injury, and one's own capacity—that is declared tamasic.”
Sanskrit
अनुबन्धं क्षयं हिंसामनवेक्ष्य च पौरुषम् | मोहादारभ्यते कर्म यत्तत्तामसमुच्यते ||
Transliteration
anubandhaṁ kṣayaṁ hiṁsām anapekṣya ca pauruṣam mohād ārabhyate karma yat tat tāmasam ucyate
Commentary
Tamasic action is begun from delusion, ignoring consequences, potential harm, loss, and one's abilities. It is reckless, destructive, and born of ignorance.
