The three states of Maya

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
Naam Simran

All creatures dwell in the three states of maya. These three states are Rajo, Sato and Tamo.

• Rajo: People who are under this state are usually avarice or cupid. They long for money and status but don’t like to employ wrong means to accomplish it.
• Sato: Such people have natural disposition for religious work and are less material than Rajo people. People under this state try to lead an honest life and are more inclined towards religious rituals have less material aspirations than normal. They are very scrupulous people and are the most likely people to move to the 4th or Turiya State.
• Tamo: People under this state are very materialistic people who do resort to any method to achieve their material goals. Most of the world lies in this category today. Such people have no or little conscience.

The world is divided into these three categories i.e. firstly Good materialistic people secondly bad materialistic people and thirdly less materialistic and more religious people.

Gursikhs live in the fourth avastha. The above stated three gunns (states) are of maya. Turiya Avastha or Chautha Padd is beyond maya. Gursikhs who are attached to Naam attain this avastha.

NANAK, CHAUTHAY PADD MEH, SO JAN GATT PAAYE

(On whom Waheguru does kirpa, and bestows naam, that person stays in the the fourth state and this way get across this world)
