Word by Word
The Lord reveals the nature of the rajasic worker—one who acts from craving, greed, and violence, forever swinging between elation and despair. This is the worker bound by desire, unable to see action as sacred duty.
When you recognize these patterns in yourself—the need to control outcomes, the attachment to praise, the restlessness that follows—you see the prison you've built. Freedom begins when you offer your work to something greater than your own gain.
