14.12 Greed is the tendency not to spend ones own property. Activity is the disposition to be active devoid of any purpose. Undertaking of works is engagement in works which yield fruits. Unrest is absence of rest of sense-activities. Longing is the desire for sense objects. These predominate when Rajas has increased. The meaning is that whenever greed etc., prevail, then one should know that Rajas has very much increased.
