Arjuna had been listening with one-pointed citta, his head bowed. Now he raised his head and, gazing at Kṛṣṇa's beautiful face, said, “Svāmī! You have told me of the sattva of the Manas, of speech, of the body and of dāna, but You have not told me of the sattva of hearing and the sattva of sight! Kindly tell me of their holiness, and I will strive to live by it.” So he prayed, his face radiant and scattering rays of hope, so as to please Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa, his smiles dancing, placed his hand on Arjuna's shoulder and said, “Brother-in-law! Seeing those who worship God, pictures of God, stone images of God's form, and great souls who carry out sādhanas on the sāttvika path; hearing the stories of such people; keeping their pictures, forms and images in the home: sights and hearings of this kind are sāttvika. Seeing scenes of luxury and pictures of luxury, or hearing about them; going about with pomp in the train of men in power; describing pictures taken together with such people; displaying nothing but such pictures all over the house, wherever one looks; that is, seeing pictures of luxury, pomp, Ahaṅkāra and power, or keeping them in the pūjā room: all this is rājasika. And hearing of or seeing wicked, evil-mannered and cruel things; conversing with such people; keeping pictures of such people in the house; or the worship of ghosts, departed spirits and piśācas: these are tāmasika hearings and sights.” So the Paramātma taught, with Prema.
