संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the Kurukshetra field, Krishna continues explaining the three kinds of understanding after Arjuna’s collapse. He contrasts the clear vision that sees unity with the restless mind that only sorts beings into separate pieces. This verse names that divided seeing as rajasic.
आज के संदर्भ में

You can stop mistaking sharp division for real understanding.
