Chapter 14 verse 8
“O Arjuna, tamo guṇa, which is born of ignorance, is the cause of illusion for the embodied souls. It deludes all living beings through negligence, laziness, and sleep.”
On
the opposite end of the spectrum of gunas is tamo guna which is borne out of
ignorance of the real nature of jivatma as well as sacred duty of a human
being. This behavior results from deep slide of character due to negligence and
laziness. Tamas also happens during sleep state and therefore not all bad. It
is necessary in parts like everything God creates in nature.
