BHAGAVAD-GITA 18:35

 

yaya svapnam bhayam sokam

visadam madam eva ca

na vimuncati durmedha

dhrtih sa partha tamasi

 

WORD FOR WORD

 

yaya--by which; svapnam--dreaming; bhayam--fearfulness;

sokam--lamentation; visadam--moroseness; madam--illusion;

eva--certainly; ca--also; na--never; vimuncati--one gives up;

durmedha--unintelligent; dhrtih--determination; sa--that; partha--O

son of Prtha; tamasi--in the mode of ignorance.

 

TRANSLATION

 

And that determination which cannot go beyond dreaming, fearfulness,

lamentation, moroseness and illusion--such unintelligent

determination, O son of Prtha, is in the mode of darkness.

 

PURPORT

 

It should not be concluded that a person in the mode of goodness does

not dream. Here "dream" means too much sleep. Dreaming is always

present; either in the mode of goodness, passion or ignorance,

dreaming is a natural occurrence. But those who cannot avoid

oversleeping, who cannot avoid the pride of enjoying material objects,

who are always dreaming of lording it over the material world, and

whose life, mind and senses are thus engaged, are considered to have

determination in the mode of ignorance.
