My Understanding : One should be able to see the Ashvatha tree in the conscience, as it represents the underlying reason for all our actions. With the help of intelligence, the mind works, and the senses guide our decisions. For example, we go to the temple for the darshan of God. After the darshan, we take prasadam, and slowly, our mind shifts from God to the food. The taste of prasadam draws us in, and the sense of taste craves more. Gradually, karma pushes us to consume more. The taste of prasadam becomes registered in the mind and heart through this process of karma.Based on the qualities of a person, karma influences the mind and creates a space in the conscience. If one realizes that excessive eating caused this craving, it reflects Sattva guna. If the desire to eat strongly persists, it points to Rajas guna. If one feels regret over the consequences of overindulgence, it signals Tamas guna.When something bad happens to us, it stays in the conscience and triggers a thought. This thought may lead us to insult someone, causing further conflict. Such situations lead to sorrow and a desire for revenge, which only creates more karma. This cycle of actions and reactions increases the burden of karma, ultimately leading to suffocation.The reasons behind our behavior are shaped by the mixture of the three gunas—Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas—within us.
