Askese, der praktiseres af stolthed og for at vinde respekt, ære og tilbedelse, siges at være i lidenskabens kvalitet. En sådan askese er hverken stabil eller vedvarende.

FORKLARING: Nogle gange udøver lidenskabelige personer bodsøvelse og askese for at tiltrække folk og få respekt, ære og tilbedelse fra andre. Personer i lidenskabens kvalitet arrangerer, at deres tilhængere tilbeder dem, og får dem til at bade deres fødder og skænke sig rigdomme. Den slags kunstig udøvelse af askese anses for at være i lidenskabens kvalitet. Resultaterne er midlertidige. De kan fortsætte i nogen tid, men de er aldrig vedvarende.

Sometimes penance and austerity are executed to attract people and receive honor, respect and worship from others. Persons in the mode of passion arrange to be worshiped by subordinates and let them wash their feet and offer riches. Such arrangements artificially made by the performance of penances are considered to be in the mode of passion. The results are temporary; they can be continued for some time, but they are not permanent.
