The three gunas—Tamas, Sattva, and Rajas—are not merely psychological traits but divine states of consciousness in Chivality. Tamas is the original silence of Chivam, Sattva is the luminous purity of Brahman in the mind, and Rajas is human action guided by inner balance. When aligned, they transform the seeker into a divine human being.

Human life is governed by the three Gunas — Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas — each guiding different stages of growth, action, rest, and spiritual evolution. This article explores how balance among the Gunas shapes life, why Tamas holds the key beyond death, and how transcending all qualities leads to Nirguna — the state of becoming Chivam, pure and eternal consciousness.

What if God was never outside but always within you? This reflection reveals the truth of Pure Space and impure space—the still, infinite consciousness within and the restless mind that hides it. Through inner silence and the dissolution of the mind, what has always been present is revealed: God as pure stillness, positivity, and bliss within.

The “Living Dead” is a state where the ego has dissolved but the body continues to live. The seeker moves through life in complete inner silence, untouched by praise or pain. Actions happen naturally without a sense of doer-ship, relationships exist without attachment, and love flows without expectation. Free from fear, desire, and identity, such a one lives in the world yet remains inwardly liberated.

Saintliness begins when material life no longer brings fulfillment. A seeker turns inward, inspired by spiritual teachings and guided by the right Master. As worldly attachments fade, life becomes simpler and the inner search deepens. This journey gradually transforms an ordinary person into one who realizes their true Self — finding a lasting peace no material success can provide.

Suffering follows us because of karmaphala — the fruits of our past actions imprinted in the mind. By acting with clarity instead of compulsion and accepting life’s challenges calmly, we dissolve karmaphala. As it fades, peace arises, perception shifts, and we move closer to Mukti — freedom from the cycle of suffering.

Ancient wisdom teaches that discipline is not restriction but the foundation of true freedom. In a world of distractions, discipline aligns our actions with higher purpose, transforming chaos into clarity. It is the strength that sustains spiritual growth, the key to self-mastery, and the bridge connecting us to the divine. Through consistent, mindful practice, discipline becomes the path to inner freedom and love.
