My Understanding : The body is formed from the five elements of nature, filled with energy that originates from the natural world. This energy varies from person to person, influenced by their trigunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas). These trigunas shape the connection between the body, intelligence, life, and conscience, binding them together in harmony. From this connection, willpower arises, driven by karma. However, conscience has no authority over willpower—it cannot control the nature of our actions. Instead, the will must independently judge and discern between good and bad deeds. Conscience plays a different role; it guides the physical body, often restraining it from performing certain actions. The intentions or sankalpa (resolutions) we form originate from nature itself, but conscience acts as a barrier, stopping the body from engaging in actions it deems unfit. Good and bad deeds, however, are not governed by conscience. They are determined by the choices we make through willpower and judgment. It is through understanding and aligning our actions with the right path that we shape our karma and its outcomes.
