you should understand.
You should discern the mode of passion by its symptoms — the distortion of the intelligence because of too much activity, the inability of the perceiving senses to disentangle themselves from mundane objects, an unhealthy condition of the working physical organs, and the unsteady perplexity of the mind.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
You should discern the mode of passion by its symptoms—the agitation of the intelligence because of objects nearby, material thirst in the intelligence and senses, an unhealthy condition of the action senses, and a confused mind. When even one’s intelligence is agitated by the approach of various objects (kriyayā vikurvan) and intelligence and the senses are filled with thirst for objects, know that rajas has increased.
