Bhagavad Gita 18.24

यत्तु कामेप्सुना कर्म साहङ्कारेण वा पुनः।क्रियते बहुलायासं तद्राजसमुदाहृतम्॥

yattu kāmepsunā karma sāhaṅkāreṇa vā punaḥ |kriyate bahulāyāsaṃ tadrājasamudāhṛtam ||

But that action which is done by one longing for the fulfillment of desires or gain with egotism or with much effort is declared to be Rajasic (passionate).

But even though an action involves the most strenuous endeavor, yet if the doer is seeking to gratify their desires and is filled with personal vanity, it may be assumed to originate in passion.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
