Meaning : Passion , attachment with fruit of action , greed , violence , impurity and disturbance by happy and sad moments are traits of a Rajasik Kartaa ..
If the person with Sattvika attribute works quietly , the person with Rajasik attribute works passionately .. with intense attachment .. intense desire that the work be done by self .. intense about the work being done in the best way .. intense in gaining name and reputation through the work .. intense about getting the fruits of the work .. This is the complete picture of a Rajasik person ..
Greed and violence are natural off-springs of such an attitude .. Desire that "I alone should get" is greed .. Desire that "the work be done by me alone" is greed .. Desire that everything happened as is sought by self is greed .. Desire to get more and more of fruits is desire ..
Violence results while trying to eliminate hurdles while working .. Violence also results while trying to eliminate any competition and competitor ..
Intensity is in both the directions .. Intense attachment comes with intense hatred .. Intense enthusiasm comes hand in hand with intense depression .. Excitement on getting success is intense .. So too is grief on getting failure .. These traits are usually seen in the person with Rajasik mode ..
