Tamas, the mode of inertia and darkness, is characterized by dullness, ignorance, and stagnation. It is associated with lethargy, ignorance, and the absence of awareness. Individuals influenced by tamas may exhibit laziness, apathy, and resistance to change. They may be trapped in repetitive patterns of behavior or feel overwhelmed by feelings of inertia and negativity. Tamas can lead to delusion, confusion, and a lack of clarity, hindering spiritual growth and evolution. Practices such as self-discipline, self-awareness, and spiritual inquiry help dispel the influence of tamas, allowing individuals to break free from ignorance and reclaim their innate state of purity and illumination.
