  • BONUS: We discuss the movie GUIDE and narrate the story of Raju and his journey from a tourist guide to a fake spiritual guide to an enlightened soul.


What are the three Gunas - Sattvic, Rajas and Tamas?

Sadhguru says, "All the qualities of the world have been identified as three basic gunas, tamas, rajas, and sattva. Inertia is called tamas. Activity is called rajas. Transcendence is called sattva.

"There is no physical entity without all these three dimensions. Not a single atom is free of these three dimensions of a certain static nature, of energy, and of vibrance. If these three elements are not there, you cannot hold anything together – it will break up. If it is just sattva, you won't remain here for a moment – you will be gone. If it is just rajas, it’s not going to work. If it’s just tamas, you will be asleep all the time. So, these three qualities are present in everything. It is just a question of to what extent you mix these things."
