The Three Gunas

Writing in the Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge, Mukherjee says that three qualities mentioned in Samkhya philosophy, known as the ‘gunas‘, are the basis of psychological classification. These are then divided into subtypes, and there are whole treatises written about these different personality types in the well known medical treatise of ancient India.The three mental attributes, Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas correspond to the three ‘doshas’, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, that make up the physical constitution. According to the Ayurvedic system of medicine, the three gunas provide the basis for distinctions in temperament and psychological make-up, as well as moral disposition.

Ayurveda provides a special language for understanding the primal forces of Nature and shows us how to work with them on all levels. According to Yoga and Ayurveda, Nature consists of three primal qualities, which are the main powers of Cosmic Intelligence that determine our spiritual growth. These are called gunas in Sanskrit, meaning “what binds” because wrongly understood they keep us in bondage to the external world. – David Frawley, Vedic Teacher.

The energy of Kali is Tamas, Lakshmi is Rajas, and Sarasvati is Sattva.

These three gunas are tamas (darkness), rajas (activity), and sattva (beingness). The basic attributes of Sattva are purity, compassion, love, clarity, harmony, understanding and essential goodness. Rajas is characterized by passion, action, confusion, extraversion, aggression, and sensuality, while tamas is described as inertia, laziness, ignorance, heaviness and dullness.

All three gunas are always present in all beings, and objects surrounding us, but vary in their relative amounts. The gunas show our mental and spiritual state through which we can measure our propensity for psychological problems.

We each have these three qualities of the mind in varying degrees and will have a predominant guna, which informs the way in which we see the world and also determines the type of person we will become. The psychological qualities of our mind are unstable, so this means we will switch between the different gunas with every different situation we find ourselves in.
