FORKLARING: En person i lidenskabens kvalitet er aldrig tilfreds med det, han allerede har opnået. Han længes altid efter at forbedre sin situation. Skal han bygge et hus, gør han alt for at få et palads, som om han kunne bo der for evigt. Og han udvikler stærke længsler efter sansenydelse. Der er ingen grænse for sansenydelsen. Han ønsker for altid at forblive i sit hus med sin familie og fortsætte med sin sansetilfredsstillelse. Det hører aldrig op. Det må forstås, at alle disse symptomer kendetegner lidenskabens kvalitet.
One in the mode of passion is never satisfied with the position he has already acquired; he hankers to increase his position. If he wants to construct a residential house, he tries his best to have a palatial house, as if he would be able to reside in that house eternally. And he develops a great hankering for sense gratification. There is no end to sense gratification. He always wants to remain with his family and in his house and to continue the process of sense gratification. There is no cessation of this. All these symptoms should be understood as characteristic of the mode of passion.
