The 3 Guna’s of Praying

Tamas

Is there a way to change?

Is there a way to unite the state of the world?

Is this paradise, and are we asleep?

Rajas

Know thyself, that unwilling beast of burden.

Know that we know nothing—for good reason.

Know we are here to tend the garden and bow before the sun.

Sattwa

I am not the one who acts; action is taken through me.

I am not the one who speaks; but a silent listener.

I am not the one who prays; the spirit prays.
