Synopsis Everything that happens in this universe is because of the following three natures: 1. Satvik nature is the vision of equality and selfless duties.
2. Tamasik nature is ignorance and madness.
3. Rajasik nature is the never-ending desire and greed. Krishna explains the influences of these three natures on us and how our behavior depends on the above characters. He also describes these natures as bonds between the soul and the body. The body and the mind follow the character and act accordingly.

Relevance: Our personality and character are dynamic, and there is no way to tell how we would react to the same situation at two different times. The above three natures define our characters. Our behavior in a particular case depends on the dominance of one of the three (sat, tamo, rajo) personalities then. We should be aware of the prominence of one nature that overtakes the other two. We have to realize that it is nature that is doing the act and not us. If Gita in 18 Days 96 we can control the characters and balance them, we can have better-managed responses to everything
