When the mode of passion, which causes attachment, separatism and activity, conquers ignorance and goodness, a man begins to work hard to acquire prestige and fortune. Thus in the mode of passion he experiences anxiety and struggle.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
When the mode of passion, which causes attachment, separatism and activity, conquers ignorance and goodness, a man desires fame and fortune, suffers, and becomes active. When rajas, which is a cause of attachment, distinctions, and action, conquers tamas and sattva, a person becomes endowed with desires for fame and wealth (from attachment), suffering (from making distinctions), and action (from the active nature of rajas).
