M: Meditation is a sattvic activity andaims at complete elimination
of tamas (inertia) and rajas (motivity). Pure sattva (harmony) is
perfectfreedom from sloth and restlessness.
Q: How to strengthen and purify the sattva?
M:
The sattva is pure and strong always. It is like the sun. It may seem
obscured by clouds and dust, but only from the point of view of the
perceiver. Deal with the causes of obscuration, not withthe sun.
Q: What is the use of sattva?
M:
What is the use of truth, goodness, harmony, beauty? They are their own
goal. They manifest spontaneously and effortlessly, when things are
left to themselves, are not interfered with, not shunned, or wanted, or
conceptualised, but just experienced in full awareness, such awareness
itself is sattva. It does not make use of things and people -- it
fulfils them.
