Description

Acharya Prashant explains the distinction between sattvic and tamasic actions as described in the Bhagavad Gita. While both types of actions may appear to ignore consequences, their underlying motivations are polar opposites. A sattvic person acts without concern for results because they are established in rightness and contentment. In contrast, a tamasic person stubbornly ignores consequences to avoid the painful reality that their life choices are destructive. By refusing to look at the results, the tamasic individual avoids the necessity of change and maintains their ego's delusion.
