We Need Rest

In our busy lives, we often focus on doing and forget to rest.
In Hinduism, all of nature is said to be composed of three fundamental qualities—called gunas:
• Sattva – purity, clarity, harmony, balance
• Rajas – passion, activity, drive; can also become overstimulation or restless energy
• Tamas – inertia, stillness, resistance, or procrastination
Each guna has its place. Just as nature needs winter to prepare for spring, we too need stillness to restore our energy. If we forget to rest, life will gently remind us when it’s time to slow down.
