BG 17.2: The
Supreme Divine Personality said: Every human being is born with innate faith,
which can be of three kinds—sāttvic, rājasic, or tāmasic.
( Gunas = attributes,or forms of energy
) they are : Satva- Harmony,
rhythm, or purity ; Rajas – Passion,
activity , or motion ; Thamas - Inertia, Darkness , or stupidity

2.RAJASIC NATURE :

BG 18.27: The
performer is considered in the mode of passion when he craves for the fruits of the actions , is covetous, violent-natured, impure, and moved by joy
and sorrow.

BG 18.28: A performer in the mode of ignorance is one who is discordant,
vulgar, stubborn, deceitful,
slothful, despondent, and procrastinating.

प्रमादमोहौ तमसो भवतोऽज्ञानमेव च || 17||
प्रमादमोहौ तमसो भवतोऽज्ञानमेव च || 17||
sattvāt
sañjāyate jñānaṁ rajaso lobha eva cha
pramāda-mohau tamaso bhavato ’jñānam eva cha
pramāda-mohau tamaso bhavato ’jñānam eva cha
BG 14.17: From the
mode of goodness arises knowledge, from the
mode of passion arises greed, and from the mode of ignorance arise negligence
and delusion.
Now, Gita wants a sadhaka to go beyond the three attributes :
त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन |
निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान् || 45||
निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान् || 45||
trai-guṇya-viṣhayā vedā
nistrai-guṇyo bhavārjuna
nirdvandvo nitya-sattva-stho niryoga-kṣhema ātmavān
nirdvandvo nitya-sattva-stho niryoga-kṣhema ātmavān
BG 2.45: The Vedas
deal with the three attributes; O Arjuna;
be thou above these three attributes; beyond the pairs of opposites , ever
steadfast in satva , and without concern for possessions, be situated in the
self.
