Gita reflection Ch 14 verses 6 & 7

9th October 2024


The essence of Sattva is pure and linked to knowledge. Seeking knowledge is about comprehending the true nature of the object of knowledge, and Sattva represents purity. 

Sattva is known to bring forth knowledge and is also associated with happiness. It ties an individual to both knowledge and happiness.

On the other hand, the essence of Rajas is desire, action, and attachment. When one desires something, it leads to action to attain the desired object. Upon obtaining the object of desire, one seeks to possess it for as long as possible, creating attachment.

Unlike Sattva, Rajas does not bring forth knowledge and is not pure. It ties an individual to constant action.
