Tamoguni
A left side person; One who eats carbohydrates (1983-0131), and is a fatter type of person (1984-0906); One who has got all kinds of desires of self indulgences, but which disappears when we become Gunatit (1998-0321); Those who have too much inertia, are sluggish or have slow moving temperaments, and who when it is exaggerated, can take to spirits, or alcohol etc. and this can take you away from Reality, and make you numb (1979-0928); Tamogunis get lots of psychosomatic diseases (1998-0712); Tamoguna… left side (1980-0517.2)
Women have to be left sided, have to be fatter than the men, because it is the woman who bears the children, and she needs the fat to sustain them (1984-0906)
In India, medicine is based on the Trigunas, the three types of people, with the three types of problems: the Tamo, Rajo and Satwo Gunis, being of the left, right and centre respectively. Each is treated accordingly, in order to bring them back to a balanced state (1984-0906)
When the attention goes to the Spirit, it just happens that you become Gunatit, and are no more concerned with your own conveniences, or comforts. You just go beyond all these three gunas which have been dominating you, like the Tamoguna, Rajoguna and Satwoguna. Now you don’t want to see whether you are right sided, or left sided or centred – you are a Sahaja Yogi, and a Sahaja Yogi is beyond all these things, you are Gunatit (1998-0321)… beyond the three gunas (1980-0526)
