Burning tamas

Leisure air tasting

I was burning (mostly) rajas.

Now I am burning tamas.

I've never really liked sattva, but I suppose that's next(?)

I remember even as a girl, sattva felt oppressive and stagnant. Oh, how much fun to burn that?... ick. (Liking or not liking, both need to be burned).

The three gunas are the three fundamental qualities, tendencies or stresses that underlie all manifestations. They are: rajas (action, restlessness, "efficient," "kicking butt"), tamas (darkness, inertia, "coasting," "hiding"), and sattva, (light, purity, "following the rules," attachment to earned merit).
