My Understanding : Practicing Satva Guna leads to a peaceful mind, where all the senses function harmoniously. A person with Satva Guna gains clarity and insight, experiencing life with positivity, purity, and transparency. Such individuals see things clearly and are able to recognize the divine presence in everything around them. They understand the distinction between right and wrong (Dharma and Adharma), perceiving the world with wisdom and divine knowledge. In contrast, people influenced by Rajoguna tend to focus on the outcomes of their actions, often becoming attached to external results. This attachment leads to a loss of self-control, impatience, and a constant sense of urgency. They become restless and driven by a desire for material gains, which eventually causes frustration, sadness, and fear. Their lack of patience and constant craving for results bring them into conflict with the world around them. Just as light dispels darkness, Satvaguna eliminates ignorance. Where there is love, there is no room for hate. In Rajoguna, individuals are so fixated on the results of their efforts that they cultivate negativity, such as greed and attachment. This creates a cycle of desire and dissatisfaction, where they feel increasingly distant from their inner self and the divine within. The influence of Rajoguna leads to inner turmoil and confusion. As they become consumed by desires and the pursuit of external rewards, they lose sight of their true nature and the divine presence within. This ignorance blinds them from understanding their higher self.
