वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Preoccupation with worldly time-bound concerns and constant pursuit of dharma-artha-kāma, when driven by craving and self-will, indicates rajas-dominance; such a mind flows outward/downward toward sense-objects rather than upward toward inner clarity.
Vāyudeva is characterizing a class of people by their mental orientation: they continually deliberate on past-present-future matters and remain absorbed in the three worldly aims; the passage (with the accompanying gloss) identifies them as rajas-covered and labels them ‘arvāk-srotas’.
