The quality of Tamas is darkness. Just as in darkness, nothing is properly seen, and this causes delusion. Similarly, a person of Tamas remains ignorant.
The predominance of Tamas leads to laziness, carelessness, and sleep. Tamas is inactive and impure, unlike Sattva and Rajas, which are pure and active respectively.
These qualities bind the soul to the body, mind, and intellect. Sattva binds the soul to knowledge, the essential quality of the intellect.
Rajas binds the soul to the mind, which is restlessly active and full of attachments. Tamas binds the soul to the body, which is inert and insentient.
