The ways of the three gunas are now explained
The Symptoms of the Gunas 11-18
1 Gita Sloka Every Day - Chapter 14 - Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga - Sloka 15
Rajasi pralayam gatva karma sangisu jayate I
Tatha pralinah tamasi mudha yonishu jayate II sloka 15
राजसि प्रलयम् गत्वा कर्म संगिसु जायते I
तथा प्रलिनः तमसि मूढा योनिषु जायते II श्लोक 15
Meeting with death in rajas, he is born among those attached to action; and dying in tamas, he is orn in the wombs of the deluded.
The already mentioned sattvika man casts off the body in all calmness and in full consciousness. The rajasika man leaves the body with excitement, desire and sorrow. So he is orn again as the one given to excessive activities. The tamasika man dies in an unconscious state. Such a one is born again as an animal or sub-human being.
A tamasika man must endeavour to become a rajasika man and a rajasika man a sattvika one. Why this is so is explained further
