If someone's swadharma is rajasic, must he abandon his swadharma?

outcome
"Your swadharma is the qualityless sky of consciousness; rise beyond the coverings of rajas, tamas, and sattva to realize your true, unconditioned being."
According to Osho, there is no 'rajasic swadharma.' Rajas, tamas, and sattva are merely outer coverings—like silver, iron, or gold—masking your real nature. Swadharma is the qualityless sky of consciousness, beyond all gunas and creeds. Therefore, don’t cling to rajas; rise beyond every guna through awareness and realize your innate, unconditioned being.
Your true self is like the open sky, and rajas is just a shiny coat; take off all coats to see the sky.
