Tamas[dullness]

tamas tv ajnajam viddhi,mohanam sarvadehina
paramadalasyanidrabhis,tan nibadhnati baharat.--8

In this guna our life becomes dull,dark.this is the dark side of our life.we become unable to define what is right and what is wrong.that teaching which our guru or vadas describes we forget this knowledge.vadas explain us and give view to lead a meaningful life.we forget that teaching and began to do works like an ignorant person.we lost the ability for goodness and reaches to a lower level of our life.this is our negative side.
Tamas leads to us laziness,negligence and sleep.when we become lazy we waste our time to reach the goal of enlightenment.there are so many devotees who are well learned and stared with enlightened sages but due to there laziness they neglect that qualities which are necessary.
central idea of this solaka is:Dullness [tamas]know thou is born of ignorance and dullness.it binds O Baharta [Arjun]by developing the qualities of negligence,indolence,and sleep.
