अर्जुन उवाच ये शास्त्रविधिमुत्सृज्य यजन्ते श्रद्धयान्विता: |
तेषां निष्ठा तु का कृष्ण सत्त्वमाहो रजस्तम: ||1||
तेषां निष्ठा तु का कृष्ण सत्त्वमाहो रजस्तम: ||1||
Arjuna said: Those who worship with faith but disregard scriptural injunctions, what is their nature, Krishna? Sattvic, rajasic, or tamasic?
- Shraddha: Faith or devotion in spiritual practice.
- Shastra: Scriptural texts that guide dharma.
- Rajas: The mode of passion, activity, and restlessness.
Arjuna’s question highlights the human tendency to worship beyond scriptural guidance, seeking reassurance about faith. His inquiry is not just intellectual but practical, addressing whether faith alone is enough or if alignment with dharma is necessary. This sets the stage for Krishna’s deep dive into the nature of belief.
