4.13-4.14 Objects and the 3 gunas

The gunas or properties of nature are present at all levels of existence. Swamji compares them to the ink in a photograph, although we know that there are only three colors which combine in many ways we do not see the colors individually for what they are but as a whole for what they create. The gunas are present in every level, from the gross (ie. the types of food we eat) to the subtlest latent impressions which we work through.
