Kṛṣṇa defines ‘Knowledge in the Mode of Passion’. This is the vision of Division. It is the belief that every different body contains a different type of soul or nature. A person in Rajas is obsessed with ‘Pṛthaktvena’—separateness. They judge everything based on surface differences: race, nation, class, and species. They see the world as a fragmented competition of ‘us’ vs ‘them’. This is the root of material conflict. In Passion, you think: “My family is better than yours,” or “Humans are the only ones who matter.” You see the labels but miss the Substance. Because you see everyone as fundamentally separate, you feel justified in exploiting them for your own gain. This fragmented vision makes the mind restless and competitive. It is the worldview of a person who is still deeply entangled in the ‘Field’ of matter. It teaches us to watch out for ‘Label-thinking’. Whenever we find ourselves judging someone based on their external form, we are slipping into the mode of Passion. This knowledge may be ‘useful’ for worldly business and politics, but it is a prison for the soul. We should work to move beyond these surface divisions and look for the underlying spiritual connection that binds all of us together.
