Rajas — Activity, Passion, Restless Motion

Rajas is the guna of movement, desire, ambition — the force that drives creation forward but also produces agitation. Hex 34 (Great Power) is thunder over heaven: immense force surging, the danger of power untempered by wisdom. Hex 51 (The Arousing) is doubled thunder: shock upon shock, the rajasic quality of constant stimulation. Rajas builds civilizations and burns them down. Without it, nothing happens; with too much of it, nothing rests.
