Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Question from Nanda: My understanding is the balance of Rajas and Tamas is Sattva. Is this correct? Thank you for your time. Swamiji's response: No, Sattva is a quality all its own - not just a balance between the other two. When all three qualities are in perfect balance it is called Nirguna, without any particular quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
