Everyone and everything is a result of the interplay of the three qualities of nature. Sometimes or in some things, one attribute predominates over the other two, but all three are always present. When the light of wisdom shines above the lure of the senses, the quality of purity predominates. Whenever someone or something encourages the desire for greedy behavior or the restless compulsion to seek sensual pleasures, the quality of passionate energy is dominant. And when the quality of delusion is overshadowing the other two, a tendency toward laziness, neglect of responsibilities and ignorance will manifest itself.
