Meaning of the cell
Sat means "truth." Having attained liberation, a person sees truth only in Cosmic Consciousness. But that same truth, being connected with the die of karma, becomes subject to the action of the three gunas, the three primary aspects of consciousness (guna means "quality" or "property"). Sattva by itself creates a state of balance. Activity is necessary, and matter must be activated. Sattva-guna is synonymous with such concepts as light, essence, true nature, and the highest levels of vibration. The calm, undisturbed state of meditation leading to samadhi is realized when sattva predominates.
Everything that exists contains sattva, rajas, and tamas, so there is nothing colored by only one guna.
