Kaivalyapada sutra 13-14

Yogasutra Kaivalyapada sutra 13-14

SriSadgurubhyoh Namah

13. Te vyakta sookshma guna atmanah

The latent impressions and habit patterns (vasanas, samskaras), are made up of three gunas, namely Sattwa, Rajo, Tamas (Good nature, bad nature, ugly nature). All our thoughts, the impressions that project those thoughts are nothing but a combination of three gunas.


14. Parinama ekatvat vastu tatvam

When the three gunas form a particular combination, we can percieve an object as an object. One cannot see an object as composite of gunas, only an object is seen.
