Satva, Rajas, Tamas-a Way To Understand Yourself From Bhagvat Gita

Published Aug 5, 2022

Bhagvat Gita is one of the oldest books on earth and it is the kind of book which is enough to end human confusion of any kind. It is not restricted to only Hinduism many people from different countries belonging to different religions read it too because it is the conversation between God and his devotee where the intelligent devotee Arjuna puts some great questions in front of Lord Madhav(krishna)and the dear Lord answers them to solve the problems of mankind. 

In the same book Madhav speaks about three kinds of gunas(traits) in every human being which can help you to understand their basic nature, and if you want to know about yourself you can easily figure out what your nature is and can change it for good and if it is already good you can maintain it. 

So, let me list them down for you

Let's go

1.Sattva(purity) 

The people who have “satva” prominent in them are the ones who look calm, composed and are balanced. They may practice yoga and meditation. They stay away from non vegetarian diet, alcohol or any kind of intoxication. They are capable of handling any situation in life easily. They mostly put humanity above everything, love everyone and serve everyone. 

2.Rajas(Passion) 

These are the people who are ambitious in life and run after material pleasures and can even go to any limit from stealing to using or betraying anyone. They have a short temper and put desires first and they can be very selfish in nature. For them things like money, food and luxury matter a lot and are very passionate about it and can do anything to achieve it. If there is someone like this in your life you should be alert and try to be more careful from them. 

3.Tamas(Darkness) 

People who fall in this category are non-ambitious, lazy, love to sleep, alcoholic and live a animal lifestyle they live just to eat, sleep and fulfill bodily desires. They are equivalent to animals. 

Now, if you analysis your personality traits then you will find you are a partial mix of three which is no problem at all as everyone has three of them but it's in your hand to remove bad qualities and inculcate good ones in you. A person can even rise above these three gunas. So, next time it will be easy for you to figure out people's nature and choose your company wisely. Look everyone has a good side because God resides in everyone but it's there responsibility to see that God by removing all wicked qualities. 

I hope you like this post it is not for people of any particular religion, since knowledge and God have no religion. 

Thank you. Please like, share and follow.
