प्रकाशं च प्रवृत्तिं च मोहमेव च पाण्डव।न द्वेष्टि सम्प्रवृत्तानि न निवृत्तानि काङ्क्षति॥
prakāśaṃ ca pravṛttiṃ ca moham eva ca pāṇḍavana dveṣṭi sampravṛttāni na nivṛttāni kāṅkṣati
Word by word
The verse says
Krishna said: Light, activity and confusion — he does not hate them when they come, Arjuna, and does not long for them when they go.
In plain words
The answer begins, and it is about arrivals and departures.
Not that the three stop happening. They come and they go, as before.
What has changed is in the second half of each clause: no hating when they arrive, no longing when they leave.
Where you've felt this · in family life
Your aunt has had four bad winters and six good ones in the same house. She does not talk about the good years as the real ones. When a flat week comes she says it is a flat week, in the tone she would use about rain, and then asks about your job.
Going deeper
Not longing for clarity when it goes is the difficult half of this verse and the one most readers skip.
Not hating confusion when it arrives is recognisable as an ideal. The other half is stranger: not wanting the clear state back. That rules out the most common spiritual position of all, which is being attached to one's good days and treating the others as interruptions.
Verse 6 explains why. Clarity binds by attachment to pleasure and attachment to knowing, and wanting it back is that binding, operating exactly as described.
So the test here is not how you are on a flat day. It is what you do on the second flat day in a row, when you catch yourself reaching back toward the week when everything was lucid — because that reaching is the thing this chapter is actually about, and it feels like the opposite of a problem.
