yat tu kāmepsunā karma sāhaṅkāreṇa vā punaḥ |
kriyate bahulāyāsaṃ tad rājasam-udāhṛtam || 24 ||

24. But that act which is performed with great effort by one who longs to gratify desires and
prompted by self-interest; is said to be Rajasic.

Commentary

Here vā (or) is used in the sense of ca (and) — in other words, whatever work is performed by one who possesses the misconception that whatever enormous effort this act demands, it is performed entirely by oneself.
