Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ (SB 1.2.19). When one is situated as a devotee, then this base quality, rajas-tamaḥ, ignorance and passion, the symptoms: kāma-lobhādayaś. Kāma, lusty desires, and greediness. Sex desire, strong sex desire or satisfy the senses, eating too much, lobha, greediness—these things go. Nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā bhagavaty uttama . . . when one is situated in devotional service, tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ. These are rajas-tamo . . . these are the symptoms of rajas-tamo. Tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye, ceta etair anāviddham. The mind is no more disturbed with all these things. Sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati. Then he is to be understood he's in the sattva-guṇa. That is perfect brahminical life. Then he'll be pleased. Prasīdati."
