In this episode, host Rahul N Singh explores the concepts of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, the three gunas or qualities according to Hindu philosophy, as mentioned in Chapter 14 of the Bhagavad Gita. The discussion plunges deep into each guna, emphasizing their attributes and impacts on action and consequence. The host explains how these gunas compete to control matter and, in turn, human behaviour. He emphasizes the importance of balanced action with correct knowledge, more prevalent in the Satiric state, and warns listeners about the delusions and incorrect perceptions attributed to Rajasic and Tamasic states. Apart from the spiritual discourse, the host also offers information about the podcast's Patreon benefits and encourages listeners to engage more with the podcast through various platforms.
