The quality of sathva (goodness) mainly creates attachment to joyfulness; the quality of rajas (passion) mainly creates attachment to actions; and the quality of thamas (ignorance), hiding the knowledge which makes one understand things as they are, mainly creates attachment in forbidden activities through carelessness (by causing contrary knowledge).<\/p>\n ‘Satvam, Bh\u0101rata! unites (one) to blessedness, Satvam<\/em> is chief in creating a rest for blessedness; Rajas is chief for impelling one to work; and Tamas is chief in obscuring intelligence, and producing a perversity of the understanding, and thus create tendencies for unnatural work.<\/span><\/p>\n If Satvam and other qualities are the natural qualities of matter which organizes into forms known as bodies, \u2014then it is evident that they all dwell together in matter. How then do they each give birth to consequences so very conflicting with each other?
