पृथक्त्वेन तु यज्ज्ञानं नानाभावान्पृथग्विधान् । वेत्ति सर्वेषु भूतेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि राजसम् ॥ २१ ॥
pṛithaktvena tu yaj jñānaṁ nānā-bhāvān pṛithag-vidhān vetti sarveṣhu bhūteṣhu taj jñānaṁ viddhi rājasam
Translation
But knowledge that sees in all beings only many separate entities of different kinds, know that knowledge to be rajasic.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
परंतु जो ज्ञान सब प्राणियों में भिन्न-भिन्न प्रकार के अनेक भावों को अलग-अलग करके जानता है, उस ज्ञान को तुम राजस जानो।
Commentary
Rajasic knowledge sees only difference: every being as separate, competing, unconnected. It is a mind that divides the world into mine and theirs, useful and useless. Much conflict grows from this way of seeing.
