Self Realization

                                                Srimad Bhagavatam

When one worships god through his work without any selfish motive, the person is in Sattwik mode.

When one worships god through work which also aims at self gratification the person is of Rajasik temperament.

And when one worships god with an aim to injure others the person is of Tamasik temperament.

The three modes of material nature namely Goodness (Saatwik), Passion (Rajasik) and Ignorance (Tamasik) belong to the entity and not to the soul which is beyond material world.

The modes arise from the mind and bind the person to the material world.

When Goodness rules the native he becomes happy, contented, god loving virtuous and knowledgeable.

When Passion rules the native he becomes active, achieves fame and wealth and suffers misery.

When Ignorance rules the native he becomes deluded, and full of grief. He lives in a world of hope. He becomes cruel and goes into spiritual sleep.
