In the view of yoga, Spirit manifests the world through the interaction of the three gunas (forces of nature). As we study the characteristics of each guna, we can begin to see them at work in our lives and in the world. Yogis and mystics seek to go beyond the gunas and relate directly to Spirit. You can improve your life by understanding the gunas and learning how to work with them.
Guna means qualities. There are three forces or qualities which, in the view of yoga, empower and manifest the world. Tamas guna is the quality of density which makes us unwilling to move or try. Rajas guna is the quality of mindless activity which causes us to go, go, go. Sattvas guna is the quality of harmony and balance. As you practice yoga, you begin to recognize the effect of the gunas both within yourself and in situations around you.
Sattvas guna is the quality or force which tends to balance things. When you live in harmony and balance, you begin to discover your true self. You find attributes like peace, love and joy. Yoga practice tends to make you more sattvic, bringing an awareness of the many fine possibilities in life.
