Arjuna: Passion sees things as being essentially different. Therefore passionate people find some things “desirable” and others “undesirable.” Based on that, they act with the motive to obtain the desirable and avoid the undesirable; they don’t act out of duty. Their intellect doesn’t care to distinguish what is dutiful from what is not; it is obsessed instead with differentiating the desirable from the undesirable. They apply their willpower to achieve the things they desire. Although this seems like fun at first, it winds up exhausting and lands them in conflict and misery.
