(TBE)Bhagwadgeeta explains how the same individual’s temperament oscillates amongst the three ''guṇas''. These 3 gunas are Satvam, Rajas and Tamas.  These three ''guṇas'' are present in the material energy, and our mind is made from the same energy. Hence, all the three ''guṇas'' are present in our mind as well. They can be compared to three wrestlers competing with each other. Each keeps throwing the others down, and so, sometimes the first is on top, sometimes the second, and sometimes the third. In the same manner, the three ''guṇas'' keep gaining dominance over the individual’s temperament, which oscillates amongst the three modes. Depending upon the external environment, the internal contemplation, and the ''sanskārs'' (tendencies) of past lives, one or the other ''guṇa'' begins to dominate.
