Překlad

But action performed with great effort by one seeking to gratify his desires, and enacted from a sense of false ego, is called action in the mode of passion.

Avšak činnost, která je s velkou námahou prováděna někým, kdo chce ukojit své touhy, a odehrává se pod vlivem falešného ega, má charakter vášně.
