Meaning of Gita 14.10 in English

The three qualities are always competing. Sometimes sattva rises by overpowering rajas and tamas; at other times rajas or tamas takes over. That is why our moods and behaviour keep changing.

गीता 14.10 का हिंदी अर्थ

तीनों गुण हमेशा एक-दूसरे को दबाने में लगे रहते हैं। कभी सत्त्व रजस और तमस को दबाकर बढ़ता है, कभी रजस और कभी तमस हावी हो जाता है। इसी से हमारा मन और व्यवहार बदलता रहता है।
