Huh? I have to look everything up. Today I learned some latin from

Darkness, inertia and resistance to action---praying to fulfill base desires?
I need context :)
* In the Samkhya school of philosophy, tamas (Sanskrit / तमस् tamas
"darkness") is one of the three gunas (or qualities), the other two being rajas
(passion and activity) and sattva or purity). Tamas is the template for inertia
or resistance to action. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamasic
* Tamasic desire resulting in worship typically has the worshiper
praying to fulfill base desires and dispel fear.
