Chapter 14 Text 7
rajo ragatmakam viddhi
trsna-sanga-samudbhavam
tan nibadhnati kaunteya
karma-sangena dehinam

rajah--the mode of passion; raga-atmakam--born of desire or lust; viddhi--know; trsna--with hankering; sanga--association; samudbhavam--produced of; tat--that; nibadhnati--binds; kaunteya--O son of Kunti; karma-sangena--by association with fruitive activity; dehinam--the embodied.

TRANSLATION

The mode of passion is born of unlimited desires and longings, O son of Kunti, and because of this the embodied living entity is bound to material fruitive actions.

JOURNAL:

When this mode is predominate all sorts of addictive behaviour begins. If one continues with these behaviours than one will drop down into the mode of ignorance. Again, Srila Prabhupada's purport gives us a warning; If there is no liberation for those in the mode of goodness, what to speak of those who are entangled in the mode of passion?
