रजः सत्त्वं तमश्चैव तमः सत्त्वं रजस्तथा ॥

श्लोक का अर्थ
The three qualities keep replacing one another. When one becomes stronger, the others are pushed down.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On Kurukshetra, Arjuna is still frozen while Krishna explains how the three qualities shape every mind and action. This verse adds the moving pattern: one quality rises only by suppressing the others, showing that inner states are always in flux.
आज के संदर्भ में
You wake up sharp, then drift into fog by noon, then feel restless at night. The mind is not one fixed mood — it keeps changing hands.
सार
You can stop treating your moods as permanent. What dominates now will not stay forever.
