Chapter 18
Mokshasanyaasa Yoga
Tatparya Nirnaya :- non-ego implies the wisdom that one is subservient to the Lord.
27 - 28. The performer (of actions) swayed by passion, eager for the fruits of action, greedy, of harmful nature, impure, given to joy and sorrow is known as raajasik. The performer who is non-equanimous, uncultured, obstinate, deceitful, malicious, lazy, despondent and given to calumny, is known as taamasik.
Bhashya :- He who points out the defects in others, which are improper, given to calumny and done long time earlier is दीर्घसूत्री. The dictionary also declares that “The one who points out the defects in others done long time earlier, is spoken as दीर्घसूत्री”.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- “The one, even though by the grace of the Lord is distinguished, but being unrefined postpones his performance, is called दीर्घसूत्री” according to Shabda Tatva Text. The performance which is required to be done at the proper time but is performed after considerable lapse of time also suggests the meaning of दीर्घसूत्री. The सात्विक दीर्घसूत्री is called तामसिक because of his laziness. The one who is incompetent is राजसिक: the indolent and the unrefined is तामसिक, the one who does nothing but the malicious. The one who speaks ill of others is obscured amongst the obscure (तामसतामस:). The consequence of evil manhood is correspondingly the three-fold lower fruits.
