=== Shraddha and Individual Choice ===
Sattva, rajas and tamas play key role in the way a person's mind, emotions, behaviour and social interaction happens.
Every Triguna has an inherent tendency.
सत्त्वं सुखे सञ्जयति रज: कर्मणि भारत । ज्ञानमावृत्य तु तम: प्रमादे सञ्जयत्युत ॥ (Bh.G 14.9)
Sattva (14.6) is believed to be the pure quality of a mind which brings happiness, knowledge and wisdom in an individual.
Rajas (14.7)
Tamas (14.8)
Each guna has a specific inherent tendency, the nature of one’s shraddha (based on the predominence of the trigunas) influences the choices one makes.
