Bhagavad Gita 18.21

पृथक्त्वेन तु यज्ज्ञानं नानाभावान्पृथग्विधान्।वेत्ति सर्वेषु भूतेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि राजसम्॥

pṛithaktvena tu yaj jñānaṁ nānā-bhāvān pṛithag-vidhān vetti sarveṣhu bhūteṣhu taj jñānaṁ viddhi rājasam

Translation

But that knowledge which regardeth the several manifold existences in all beings as separate, that knowledge know thou as of passion;

What it means

But that knowledge which sees in all beings distinct entities of separate kinds: know that as rajasic. Plurality taken as final is the middle grade. It is not false, only unfinished.

Try this today

Rajasic knowing: everything as fragments, every being a separate account.

Something to reflect on

Where do I take fragments as final - treating separate accounts as the whole story?
