Kṛṣṇa summarizes the specific ‘addictions’ of each mode. Goodness (Sattva) attaches the soul to happiness; Passion (Rajas) attaches it to work and results; Ignorance (Tamas) covers knowledge and attaches the soul to ‘Pramāde’—carelessness and madness. Each mode has its own way of keeping the soul trapped in the material world. A Sattvic person is ‘addicted’ to being peaceful and right. A Rajasic person is ‘addicted’ to being busy and productive. A Tamasic person is ‘addicted’ to being numb and lazy. Even the ‘good’ attachment is a limitation because it depends on material conditions. Kṛṣṇa wants us to see these attachments as psychological gears that are currently driving our lives. It teaches us to self-diagnose. If you feel like you *must* be busy all the time, you are bound by Rajas. If you feel like you just want to sleep and forget your problems, you are bound by Tamas. Real spiritual life starts when we recognize these forces and decide to move beyond them to the pure, unconditioned state of the soul.
