TRIGUNA (त्रिगुण)
@Madhusoodan @bams_study
The concept of Guna dates back to Atharva Veda, it was discussed in Bhagawad Gita and later included in Sankhya Darsana. The concept of Triguna has been utilized to explain the concept of personality in modern era as well
All human beings are combinations of the three gunas and therefore these three features together promote different kinds of personalities based on the dominance of one or the other Gunas. Each personality can be deduced based on his/her mode of worship, the type of food consumed and other activities of everyday life.

The Sattva Guna
Sattva guna is mainly the “spiritual quality”. When sattva guna is dominant, a person has natural desire to be good and caring. In such individuals, the mind and senses are at a constant, and an understanding to differentiate between desirable and undesirable, and undutiful and dutiful action prevails.
The sattva dominant people consider work as their duty. They perform work with calm understanding and free of doubts. When sattva is dominant a person pays homage to divine and spiritual values. Strength and respect for Gurus (teachers), nonviolence, meditation, kindliness, silence, self-control, and purity of character are common traits of sattvic action. One of the limitations of sattvic guna is that it binds people through attachment to happiness and knowledge. The sattva guna also brings with it the problem of goodness.

Qualities in a Sattvic personality:
Mental strength
Respect for Gurus (teachers)
Non-violence
Kindness
Silent demeanour

The Rajas Guna
Rajas guna is nothing but the “active quality”. Rajas guna in people drives more passion and desire in them, which may subsequently lead to greed, activity, taking up work, and restlessness. People with rajas-dominant personality are full of attachment and a desire to get rewarded for their actions. Due to the dominance of self-interest in these individuals, they have a distorted picture of what’s right and what’s wrong. These individuals refrain from detachment and abandonment. Enthusiasm, interest, and activity are some of the attributes of this guna.
Qualities in a Rajas personality:
Enthusiasm
Interest
Activity & work driven
Restlessness
Desire
Greed
The Tamas Guna
Tamas guna is essentially the “material quality”. Tamas arises from hopes and illusions, and it makes people prone to qualities such as ambiguity, idleness, fantasy, and persistence. Some common characteristics of Tamas-dominant people include cautiousness, apprehensiveness, and tendency to seek revenge. Tamasic guna also suggests disillusionment and cynicism.
In people with tamasic guna, happiness is short-lived and usually originates and ends in self-delusion. One positive quality of tamas personality is their willingness to work very hard. On the other hand, one limitation of tamas personality is easy attachment to possessions and self-centred tendencies.
Each Guna gives certain typical qualities to the person, based on which an individual can be classified as belonging to that particular Guna type. Ayurveda describes seven classifications of human personalities based on combinations of these Gunas and their dominance with respect to each other.
The Trigunas are thus the foundation for all existence. They are contained in balance by Prakruti (nature). When this balance is disturbed, there is an interaction of the gunas, which eventually endangers the evolution of the universe.
Qualities in a Tamas personality:
Cautiousness
Apprehension
Revengeful
Hard working
Materialistic
