sattva (Purity)
sattva is a concept from ancient Indian philosophy, particularly in the context of Samkhya and Yoga. It represents purity, harmony, and balance. Sattva is associated with qualities such as clarity, wisdom, and tranquility, promoting a peaceful state of mind and a healthy body. It encourages positive thoughts and actions, leading to spiritual growth and enlightenment.
In the framework of the three gunas, which are sattva, rajas, and tamas, sattva is considered the highest quality. While rajas is linked to activity and passion, and tamas to inertia and darkness, increasing sattva in one's life can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful existence.
