Translation

Translation

The worker who is attached to work and the fruits of work, desiring to enjoy those fruits, and who is greedy, always envious, impure, and moved by joy and sorrow, is said to be in the mode of passion.

Človek, ki je navezan na svoje delo in bi rad užival njegove sadove, ki je pohlepen, nasilen in nečist ter je žrtev veselja in žalosti, deluje v guṇi strasti.

Purport

A person is too much attached to a certain kind of work or to the result because he has too much attachment for materialism or hearth and home, wife and children. Such a person has no desire for higher elevation in life. He is simply concerned with making this world as materially comfortable as possible. He is generally very greedy, and he thinks that anything attained by him is permanent and never to be lost. Such a person is envious of others and prepared to do anything wrong for sense gratification. Therefore such a person is unclean, and he does not care whether his earning is pure or impure. He is very happy if his work is successful and very much distressed when his work is not successful. Such is the worker in the mode of passion.

Vzrok človekove prekomerne navezanosti na določeno vrsto dela ali na njegove sadove je premočna navezanost na materialistično življenje: na dom, ženo in otroke. Tak človek ne išče ničesar višjega. Njegov edini cilj je, da se obda s čim večjim materialnim udobjem. Navadno je zelo pohlepen in misli, da je vse, kar si je pridobil, trajno in mu ne bo nikoli odvzeto. Nasilen je, in da bi ugodil svojim čutom, je pripravljen zagrešiti kakršen koli prestopek. Nečist je in ni mu mar, ali služi denar na pošten ali na nepošten način. Kadar je pri svojem delu uspešen, je neizmerno srečen, neuspeh pa ga navda z veliko žalostjo. Takšno je delovanje človeka pod vplivom guṇe strasti.
