TRANSLATION And that
determination which cannot go beyond dreaming, fearfulness, lamentation,
moroseness, and illusion--such unintelligent determination is in the mode
of darkness.
PURPORT It should not
be concluded that a person in the mode of goodness does not dream. Here
dream means too much sleep. Dreaming is always present; either in the mode
of goodness, passion or ignorance, dreaming is a natural occurrence. But
those who cannot avoid oversleeping, who cannot avoid the pride of enjoying
material objects and who are always dreaming of lording it over the material
world, whose life, mind, and senses are thus engaged, are considered to
be in the mode of ignorance.
