Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 BHAGAVAD-GITA 14:13 aprakaso 'pravrttis ca pramado moha eva ca tamasy etanijayante vivrddhe kuru-nandana WORD FOR WORD aprakasah--darkness; apravrttih--inactivity; ca--and; pramadah--madness; mohah--illusion; eva--certainly; ca--also; tamasi--the mode of ignorance; etani--these; jayante--are manifested; vivrddhe--when developed; kuru-nandana--O son of Kuru. TRANSLATION When there is an increase in the mode of ignorance, O son of Kuru, darkness, inertia, madness and illusion are manifested. PURPORT When there is no illumination, knowledge is absent. One in the mode of ignorance does not work by a regulative principle; he wants to act whimsically, for no purpose. Even though he has the capacity to work, he makes no endeavor. This is called illusion. Although consciousness is going on, life is inactive. These are the symptoms of one in the mode of ignorance. Copyright 1983 The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International.
