Explication

Tamasic knowledge clings to one narrow thing as though it were everything, without reason, without grasp of what is real, and small in scope. This is the fixation of a closed mind, which treats a fragment as the whole. The verse could describe obsession with a single desire, belief or object. It completes the threefold picture of knowledge, from the vision of unity, through a view of separateness, to a blind fixation.
