Bhagavad Gita 18.31

That intellect which understands incorrectly what is right and wrong, what ought to be done and not done — that intellect is rajasic.

Theme: Decision Making

"That intellect which understands incorrectly what is right and wrong, what ought to be done and not done — that intellect is rajasic."
