Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 18 verse 28

 Chapter 18 verse 28               

“A performer in the mode of ignorance is one who is undisciplined, vulgar, stubborn, deceitful, slothful, despondent, and procrastinating.” 

I have always associated mode of ignorance or tāmasic nature as laziness or slothfulness only. Bhagwan’s description elaborates on such persons who exhibit ignorance of the immutable nature of the spirit or infinite possibility each of us possess. In addition to pure laziness, people who are not disciplined with their body, mind and time, transcending the limits of decency and societal norms while being vulgar, stubborn, deceitful and desperate are also considered as persons acting in the mode of ignorance.
