Shloka 25
मनु-उपदेशः — भूत-उत्पत्ति, इन्द्रिय-निवृत्ति, तथा पर-स्वभाव-विवेकः
Manu’s Instruction on Elemental Origination, Sense-Withdrawal, and Discrimination of the Supreme Nature
अतिभावगता बुद्धिर्भावे मनसि वर्तते । प्रवर्तमानं तु रजस्तद्भावमनुवर्तते
atibhāvagatā buddhir bhāve manasi vartate | pravartamānaṁ tu rajas tadbhāvam anuvartate ||
ビーシュマは言った。「粗い感受の状態を越えた後でさえ、それらに入った知性は、なお微細に心の内に“傾向”として宿り続ける。やがて深い没入から起き上がると、ラジャス（rajas）—躁動し働きを促す力—が動き出し、その同じ傾向に従って働く。これは、潜在する印象（サンスカーラ）が、完全に制御されぬかぎり再び頭をもたげることを示す。」

Educational Q&A
Even when one seems to surpass a mental-emotional state, its subtle imprint can remain in the mind; upon returning from absorption, rajas reactivates and tends to follow those latent dispositions. Therefore, ethical and yogic discipline must address not only outward conduct but also subtle tendencies.
In Shanti Parva’s instruction on inner discipline, Bhishma explains to Yudhishthira the psychology of meditation and the guṇas: after samādhi-like stillness, the mind’s stored dispositions can reappear as activity resumes, driven by rajas.
