MY WORKSTATION

 I am so much lost in my beautiful days and celebrating life that i hardly believed i have a biggest storage house who is cultivating big data records and duplication of my actions. I hope my friends and readers have guessed it already. This very complicated engine that represents who we are and what we think. It is called MANA.

MANA which is a sanskrit word means Mind. Our mind is the chief of all our Indraya's which are associated by 5 BHUTAS. Also called as Panch mahabhutas. In Indian philosophy the whole world as well as our body is made of this 5 bhutas. Every cosmic creation is made up of this 5 basic elements that are Prithvi ( earth), Jal (water), Agni(fire), Vayu(Air), Aakash(Aether). In Ayurveda, the human body is considered to be made of these 5 elements.
Lets understand how our workstation commands and how our Gunas rule our emotions.

Tanmatra is a noun which means – rudimentary or subtle element, merely that, mere essence, potential or only a trifle. There are five sense perceptions – hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell, and there are the five tanmatras corresponding to the five sense perceptions and five sense-organs. The tanmatras combine and re-combine in different ways to produce the gross elements – earth, water, fire, air and ether, which make up the gross universe perceived by the senses. The senses play their part by coming into contact with the objects, and carry impressions of them to the manas which receives and arranges them into a precept.
According to the Vedic theory of creation, the tanmatras are the basis of all corporeal existences because from them evolve the Bhutas, the building blocks of the perceptible universe.

This is best to describe how our 5 senses take control of our Panch  mahabhutas and give us the different Gunas to evolve like Satava, Rajas and Tamas. Before we come to gunas, let me give the whole picture of indriyas that creates a whole chitta and manifestations in our mind.

This is the easiest way to display how Manas and other 15 indriyas and 5 subtle elements and 5 gross elements produce different dualities of life like pain&pleasure, love&hate, dharma & adharma, jnana & ajnana, vairagya & avairagya, etc. 

Such emotions derive clearly from Mahat that is buddhi which percolates this 3 gunas depending which is more than the other guna with reference to our sense and manas.

Satva is the quality of balance, harmony, goodness, purity, universalizing, holistic, constructive, creative, building, positive attitude, luminous, serenity, being-ness, peaceful, virtuous.

Rajas is the quality of passion, activity, neither good nor bad and sometimes either, self-centeredness, egoistic, individualizing, driven, moving, dynamic.

Tamas is the quality of imbalance, disorder, chaos, anxiety, impure, destructive, delusion, negative, dull or inactive, apathy, inertia or lethargy, violent, vicious, ignorant.
