RAJOGUNA
Hare Krishna.
The answer is Rajoguna, the material mode of passion in the living entity, but one must be cautious about side effects of Sattvaguna - goodness.
Our Lord says so in the Bhagavad Gita -
BG 14.7
The mode of passion is born of unlimited desires and longings, O son of Kuntī, and because of this the embodied living entity is bound to material fruitive actions.
PURPORT by Srila Prabhupad
The mode of passion is characterized by the attraction between man and woman. Woman has attraction for man, and man has attraction for woman. This is called the mode of passion. And when the mode of passion is increased, one develops the hankering for material enjoyment. He wants to enjoy sense gratification. For sense gratification, a man in the mode of passion wants some honor in society, or in the nation, and he wants to have a happy family, with nice children, wife and house. These are the products of the mode of passion. As long as one is hankering after these things, he has to work very hard. Therefore it is clearly stated here that he becomes associated with the fruits of his activities and thus becomes bound by such activities. In order to please his wife, children and society and to keep up his prestige, one has to work. Therefore, the whole material world is more or less in the mode of passion. Modern civilization is considered to be advanced in the standard of the mode of passion. Formerly, the advanced condition was considered to be in the mode of goodness. If there is no liberation for those in the mode of goodness, what to speak of those who are entangled in the mode of passion?

CONTEXT of this purport
Hare Krishna
Please note that the purport above, about mode of passion is applicable when the living entity is all conditioned , not spiritually inclined, with no knowledge of Krishna or what He says in the Gita. That is a natural inclination.
The example Srila Prabhupada gives - the part about wife, children, society, etc. does not apply to householders (grihastas) devoted to Krishna, where the family or couple has taken to bhakti , more so, if a person conciously chooses to have a family to serve Krishna.
What Krishna means by BG14.7 is that the element of ambition and desire for honor, prestige, is due to the mode of passion which is present in everyone. Like Vikram says here , regarding the living entity's desire - "I want to do something , be something".
Doen't mean that we should not do anything - we can , as long as its done for Krishna. Its about being concious of our duty as being above personal desires.
Bhakti Yoga brings one above this mode to goodness and then pure goodness.
I apologize to all readers for copying the purport here without explaining the context.
