In Eastern philosophy, all entities in nature, including human beings, are made of three qualities or gunas: rajas (passion, activity, change, creation), sattva (goodness, harmony, purity, preservation), and tamas (darkness, chaos, inertia, destruction). In an apple tree, there are three kinds of fruits that denote these three gunas: there are ripening fruits (rajas), there are ripe fruits (sattva) and there are overripe fruits (tamas). In human beings, also there are people full of passion and energy (domination of rajas), people in harmony and purity (domination of sattva) and people who are lazy and full of inertia (domination of tamas).
