Bhagavad Geeta 14.15

Sanskrit

रजसि प्रलयं गत्वा कर्मसङ्गिषु जायते।तथा प्रलीनस्तमसि मूढयोनिषु जायते।।14.15।।

rajasi pralayaṁ gatvā karma-saṅgiṣhu jāyate tathā pralīnas tamasi mūḍha-yoniṣhu jāyate

Meaning

Your dominant mental state shapes your future circumstances. Cultivate clarity and purposeful action now; avoid passive or destructive patterns that limit your growth and opportunities.

Translation

When one dies while rajas predominates, they are born among people attached to activity. Similarly, when one dies while tamas predominates, they take birth among the stupid species.
