Three Gunas; Different Expressions

[Jitendra Hydonus]

The Spiritual Origins of Character and Personality Traits; Rajasic Tamasic and Satvic. I have taken more of an interest in the three gunas as I have found people fitting into such qualities. Often those who do not express a spiritual yearning and motivation fall into lapses of Tamasic enertia.

Paramahansa Yogananda has stated that even to lift a finger requires an act of will. And so it is better to be Rajasic then Tamasic . Since we are at the very least expressing Rajasic or activating forces.
