Modes of Combat
Combat in
1) Mode of Ignorance is ................Simply a disturbance & madness
O son of Bharata, know that the mode of darkness, born of ignorance, is the delusion of all embodied living entities. The results of this mode are madness, indolence and sleep, which bind the conditioned soul.
2) Mode of Passion is .......... For fame & fruitive actions
The mode of passion is born of unlimited desires and longings, O son of Kuntī, and because of this the embodied living entity is bound to material fruitive actions.
3) Mode of goodness is ........... Combat in this mode is done with oneself....a fight with own mind & false ego .......... to control on our own mind & senses.
& the result is .............
The manifestations of the mode of goodness can be experienced when all the gates of the body are illuminated by knowledge.
Here one sees the self as master .
In the above modes he is driven by his senses & mind to madness or fame.
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.21
bhidyate hṛdaya-granthiś
chidyante sarva-saḿśayāḥ
kṣīyante cāsya karmāṇi
dṛṣṭa evātmanīśvare
TRANSLATION
Thus the knot in the heart is pierced, and all misgivings are cut to pieces. The chain of fruitive actions is terminated when one sees the self as master.
Abstract from Purport
This enlightenment perfectly enables the devotee to distinguish spirit from matter because the knot of spirit and matter is untied by the Lord. This knot is called ahańkāra, and it falsely obliges a living being to become identified with matter. As soon as this knot is loosened, therefore, all the clouds of doubt are at once cleared off. One sees his master and fully engages himself in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, making a full termination of the chain of fruitive action.
