In Ayurveda we call this Sattva πͺ· pure knowingness πͺ·
The Sattvic mind always chooses those things that promote growth & fulfilment, because the connection with its pure, creative source is always maintained. It is inherently aware of the things that are beneficial for it π
When Rajas dominates, the mind becomes unsteady & even though it knows what is best, it will often stray from doing positive things π
When Tamas dominates, the mind forgets what is good for it & becomes lost in thoughts and actions which have negative or destructive effects π€£
