Rajas (14.7)
तत्र सत्त्वं निर्मलत्वात्प्रकाशकमनामयम् । सुखसङ्गेन बध्नाति ज्ञानसङ्गेन चानघ ॥
Amongst these, sattva guṇa, the mode of goodness, being of pure quality, is illuminating and full of well-being. It binds the soul by creating attachment for a sense of happiness and knowledge. (Sattva)
ज्ञानं यदा तदा विद्याद्विवृद्धं सत्त्वमित्युत ॥ (Bhagvad Gita 14.11) Sattva guṇa leads to the development of virtues and the illumination of knowledge. (Sattva) Sattva is that property of mind which is responsible for binding soul to its material existence with the purpose of obtaining knowledge and happiness. Sattva is believed to be of illuminating nature. By the means of this illuminating nature it enables the individual to gain the real knowledge of the situation. The real knowledge strengthens the person and inhibits from making decisions that could be detrimental to health of body, mind and senses. (Sattva)
Rajas (14.7) रजो रागात्मकं विद्धि तृष्णासङ्गसमुद्भवम् । तन्निबध्नाति कौन्तेय कर्मसङ्गेन देहिनम् ॥ (Bhagvad Gita 14.7)
Rajo guṇa is of the nature of passion. It arises from worldly desires and affections, and binds the soul through attachment to fruitive actions.
लोभ: प्रवृत्तिरारम्भ: कर्मणामशम: स्पृहा । रजस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे भरतर्षभ ॥ (Bhagvad Gita 14.12)
Rajo guṇa excess leads to greed, inordinate activity for worldly attainments, restlessness of the mind and desires. (Rajas)
Tamas (14.8) तमस्त्वज्ञानजं विद्धि मोहनं सर्वदेहिनाम्। प्रमादालस्यनिद्राभिस्तन्निबध्नाति भारत॥14- 8॥
Tamas guṇa''',''' is born of ignorance. It is the cause of illusion for the embodied souls. It deludes all living beings through errors or negligence, laziness, and sleep.
अप्रकाशोऽप्रवृत्तिश्च प्रमादो मोह एव च। तमस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे कुरुनन्दन ॥14- 13॥
Tamas (14.8)
Tamo guṇa results in delusion of the intellect, laziness, errors in decision making and inappropriate understanding of the situation. (Tamas)
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.

Sattva is said to be the illuminating or enlightening quality that helps one to understand the truth or reality of the situation, gives clarity and thus helps one to understand real bliss or happiness. Rajas owing to its passionate nature, consistently forces one to initiate actions to achieve goals and thus that person gets engaged in the pursuit of various pleasures. On the other hand, Tamas by nature clouds the wisdom and incapacitates individual to know the truth or to understand the real nature of anything.(Trigunas)
यजन्ते सात्त्विका देवान्यक्षरक्षांसि राजसाः । प्रेतान्भूतगणांश्चान्ये यजन्ते तामसा जनाः ॥१७- ४॥

People in whom sattva prevails worship the deities; people in whom rajas prevails worship the lesser deities and people in whom tamas prevails worship ghosts and evil beings.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
