God / Brahman Speaking To Anne Terri Through The Holy Spirit
LORD KRISHNA SAYS:
Action is necessary, because the equanimity is neither attained without entering upon action nor merely by renunciation of action. (Gita - 3 /4)
None can ever remain really actionless even for a moment, for everyone is helplessly driven to action by nature - born qualities (modes).
Then how can a being renounce actions? (Gita - 3 /5)
The deluded one who outwardly controls the organs of actions, but sits mentally dwelling on objects of senses is called a hypocrite
and one's activity is not renunciation of action. (Gita - 3 / 6)
'HARI OM' "AMEN"
Guna means 'string' or 'a single thread or strand of a cord or twine'. In more abstract uses, it may mean 'a subdivision, species, kind, quality', or an operational principle or tendency.
In Samkhya philosophy, there are three major gunas that serve as the fundamental operating principles or 'tendencies' of prakriti (universal nature) which are called: sattva guna, rajas guna, and tamas guna. The three primary gunas are generally accepted to be associated with creation (sattva), preservation (rajas), and destruction (tamas) (see also Aum and Trimurti).The entire creation and its process of evolution is carried out by these three major gunas.
*The Gunas, born of Prakriti
The three Gunas and the four motivations of life, and are the intrinsic qualities of Prakriti.
Prakriti is the universal energy of primary matter or Nature.
The three Gunas are Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, and they are often associated with creation (Brahma), preservation (Vishnu), and destruction (Shiva) respectively. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva make up the Hindu Trinity or Trimurti, and with their association with the three Gunas we can see how they represent the three stages that matter, or Nature, goes through in her continuous cycle of life.
Sattva translates as essence. When someone or something is sattvic it has the qualities of purity, equilibrium, harmony, and goodness.
Rajas translates as air or vapor. Being rajasic has the qualities of activity, movement, and passion.
Tamas translates as darkness, ignorance, and illusion. It is also a term for the obstruction of the Sun and Moon during eclipses. Tamasic qualities indicate sluggishness, inertia, and lethargy.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna explains the Gunas to Arjuna in great detail:
It is the three gunas born of prakriti – sattva, rajas, and tamas – that bind the immortal Self to the body.
Sattva – pure, luminous, and free from sorrow – binds us with attachment to happiness and wisdom.
Rajas is passion, arising from selfish desire and attachment. These bind the Self with compulsive action.
Tamas, born of ignorance, deludes all creatures through heedlessness, indolence, and sleep.
Sattva binds us to happiness; rajas binds us to action. Tamas, distorting our understanding, binds us to delusion
