*Guna- lit., "Quality". Prakriti, or nature, is constituted of the three<br />

gunas - Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. The three qualities, or gunas,<br />

comprise the universe of mind and matter. Sattva is the quality of<br />

balance of wisdom, it is the principle of calmness and purity. Rajas –<br />

the principle of activity of restlessness, it is called Rajoguna. Tamas -<br />

the principle of inertia or dullness, it is also called Tamoguna. When<br />

the gunas are in perfect balance there is no creation or manifestation of<br />

Brahman. When the balance is disturbed, creation occurs. The three<br />

gunas are present in varying proportion in all entities which are<br />

products of matter (constituents of Prakriti).<br />

destroyer. He who destroys the darkness or ignorance of the disciple is<br />

meaning formless and Ru meaning attribute less and God is the only<br />

one which meets this criteria of being formless and attribute less.<br />
