What does "Rajasic eagerness" mean?
"Eagerness"? It is vehemence, it is violence. It is an excessive ardour; and "Rajasic" – it is the over-active and violent element, it is the turbulent element in the being. Rajasic – that is the nature of all transports, flarings-up and enthusiasms, and of all violences and passions, and all over-activity also, in contrast to Tamas which is inert, and to Sattwa which is balanced. This is the over-active and violent element…
Sweet Mother, what is the effect of an aspiration which comes from Rajasic eagerness?
…Well, it takes away your quietude, that is the first effect. It makes you agitated, nervous, impatient and dissatisfied when you do not immediately obtain what you have asked for, and usually as vehement in your despair and dissatisfaction as in the aspiration, with a strong sense of your helplessness.
