Description

Acharya Prashant clarifies that the mind does not possess a rajasic nature, as rajas, tamas, and sattva are attributes of Prakriti rather than the inherent nature of the mind, which is the Atman. When the mind engages in activities contrary to its nature, it becomes uneasy and 'asahaj'. This lack of ease causes fraudulent or false transactions to pop up in the mind as feelings of anger, hatred, or insecurity. He explains that while the right state of mind passes unnoticed, the disturbed mind flags everything as a threat or an opportunity, often perceiving hidden intentions behind simple instructions.
