The Gunas
Nature's Qualities
Card Meaning & Symbolism
The three Gunas (गुण) - Sattva (harmony), Rajas (activity), and Tamas (inertia) - are the fundamental qualities that comprise all phenomenal experience. Understanding gunas enables conscious participation in natural rhythms.
Historical Context
The Gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas) appear throughout Sāṅkhya philosophy as the three fundamental qualities of prakṛti. The Bhagavad Gītā (chapters 14, 17, 18) extensively discusses the gunas' influence on consciousness and behavior. Classical texts describe transcending gunas as essential for liberation.
