I had this simple picture come to mind recently- a sphere of black and white, upper hemisphere white, lower hemisphere black, representing the three gunas, tamas on the bottom, sattva on the top, and rajas in the middle. Lately it seems easy to superimpose any thought, speech or action that I observe, mine or anyone else's, on this model. If something observed is sattvic, the sphere appears to roll forward, causing its head-on image to be predominately white and less black. If something observed is tamasic, the sphere rolls backwards, exposing more black, less white. Seems balanced in the middle most of the time. Which surprised me, given the collective concerns over the darkness in the world. Although such concerns are valid, and I am not advocating living in a fool's paradise, it doesn't appear to me that we now live in a particularly dark time here on Earth. ------------------------ Yahoo!
