My Understanding : A person dominated by Tamoguna tends to be overwhelmed by fear, unable to comprehend situations clearly or let go of anxieties about outcomes. This constant state of fear paralyzes their ability to act decisively. Such individuals often experience jealousy when they see others achieving success. They may feel enthusiasm for irrelevant matters while neglecting essential tasks. Their actions often lack focus, leading to aimless efforts and numerous mistakes. Tamoguna manifests as procrastination and laziness, leaving tasks incomplete or delayed. This, in turn, brings regret and frustration. They overthink their failures and ultimately act only when forced, creating a cycle of hesitation, error, and dissatisfaction.
