When
the seven colours of the spectrum come together, the effect
is ‘no colour’; when they stand apart, the
seven colours can be separately identified. The betel nut
is brown, betel leaf is green and the chunnam
(slaked lime) is white, but when you chew these three
together, your tongue becomes red. When the three blades of
a ceiling fan revolve fast enough and no blade is
separately noticeable, they give cool comfort. So too only
when the different qualities of Sathwa, Rajas and
Thamas are unrecognisably integrated, one can be
happy. When the three gunas are equated in
saadhana (spiritual practice), the result is peace.
The lamp is the sathwa guna, the wick is the
thamo guna and the oil is the rajo guna.
When all the three are integrated, they give the light of
wisdom, which illumines.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
