A Tamasic person, steeped in laziness and the darkness of ignorance, finds happiness in remaining unproductive and being in a state of inactivity. They are comparable to stones, trees, wild animals, and other inert objects.
In the story of the Ramayana, these three qualities—Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas—are distinctly portrayed through three brothers: Vibhishana, Ravana, and Kumbhakarna.
Vibhishana, despite living in the kingdom of the Rakshasas, remained devoted to God and embodied Sattvik qualities. Ravana represented qualities associated with Rajas, while Kumbhakarna epitomized Tamas.
According to Vedanta philosophy, the entire creation arises from the power of God, known as Maya, which encompasses these three qualities. Thus, nothing in existence can be free from one or more of these qualities.
