I have clashes and conflicts about ambition, shopping, way of life with my husband and his side of family. And sometimes with some friends where my suggestions are laughed at or at worst taken as an insult. I sometimes get in trouble with relatives and friends about how I turn up at parties.
Like for examples, I want the small car from a good brand, because its easier to drive and park in a city.
Things that cause controversy are very simple things
dont want to wear makeup or jewellery for party, it is uncomfortable and effort.
dont like gold, I dont see the point in gold jewellery. I like to wear stones, shells, animal ear rings, glass beads
I like small simple cars which are reasonable prices
I dont see a point in designer bag/shoes etc
I dont feel the need to grow and become head of an organisation, I m happy with my job as I get good salary and have a good work place.
I dont feel it is worth sacrificing peace of mind and health for money, power prestige
I like vegetables and simple food, stir fries, soups, sprouts - and I m excited over these more than chicken and meat. I do like chicken and meat but I love veggies more, I can hog on veggies
I like to walk bare foot , sit on the ground to eat, eat with hands
and the other side of the picture - where I was annoyed with people
peoples obsession with show off - they want to spend hours dressing up
They want a Merc or Audi BMW, they want a big car
They spent 2000£ on a fucking bag
They go to networking events to further their career
They place so much value on how much u earn, how many promotions u got, how high u are on the hierarchy and many times at the cost of their health.
They are always rushing around busy and fast, as if house is on fire
They have no chill
Why dont they just let me be? But u see I dont let them be either . They judge me and I judge them right back. We cant seem to agree on anything ... because
I am Satvik and they are Rajasic. We are different kind of people!!! :-) Issue solved. Its ok for different people to like different things because we are all different. No need to judge someone just because they are different, appreciate and honour their motivation and drivers and equally important to honour and respect our own motivations and drivers. and love ourselves for it. No need to become like them or compare and decide which type is better, or beat ourselves down.
Some how this realisation - I m Sattvic brings me peace.
The honouring what I m part - I was slightly laggin in it. 70% of the world is Rajasic so its ok , its understandable to be slightly gaslighted into wondering - may be something is wrong with me?
I have known about Rajasic Sattvik and Tamasic since a long time, Also I m very aware of my spiritual tendencies still I didnt make this connection untill now. This brings me some acceptance and peace.

Tamasic, Rajasic, and Sattvic are the three gunas, or qualities of nature, described in Hindu philosophy that influence our thoughts, emotions, and physical states, with Tamas representing inertia and darkness, Rajas embodying activity and passion, and Sattvic signifying purity, harmony, and balance. The gunas are applied to various aspects of life, including diet, environment, and personality, with Sattvic foods and environments promoting clarity and health, Rajasic elements stimulating energy but potentially causing restlessness, and Tamasic factors leading to lethargy and ignorance.
Tamasic (Inertia, Darkness)
- Qualities: Indolence, ignorance, darkness, lethargy, negligence, and attachment to things that are dull.
- Effects: Leads to fatigue, confusion, and a state of dullness.
- Examples: Tamasic foods include overripe fruits, processed grains, and animal products, while a tamasic environment is cluttered and dirty.
Rajasic (Activity, Passion)
- Qualities: Ambition, activity, passion, desire, and movement.
- Effects: Stimulates the mind and body, increasing energy and alertness, but can also cause agitation and restlessness.
- Examples: Rajasic foods include onions, spices, and eggs. A rajasic environment is noisy and chaotic.
Sattvic (Purity, Harmony)
- Qualities: Purity, knowledge, harmony, balance, and goodness.
- Effects: Promotes clarity, health, peace, and overall well-being.
- Examples: Sattvic foods include fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains. An ideal sattvic environment is clean, orderly, and calming.
