IDEALS-AUSTERITIES-FOOD |
|
The Gita divides human activities, desires, tastes, and, indeed, everything, into three classes; the first wherein the spirit of truth and harmony dominates is Sattvik; the second wherein the urge to action, the passion-nature, dominates is Rajasik; the third and last in the scale is Tamasik, where in inertia dominates.
That gift is classed as pure which is made to one who is not expected to do something in return, and is made with the feeling that the gift is a duty and is also made in the right place and time to worthy person.
XVII-20
That which is given with a view to getting something in return or looking for merit, and what is given grudgingly, is deemed Rajasic gifts.
