When the Vedic spectator writes about the intelligentsia, we mean those that live Sattvic lives ..
Mode of Goodness
refers to Sattva, which translates to the mode of goodness. It is one of the three fundamental qualities (or gunas) of material nature that govern human behavior, lifestyle, and consciousness, alongside Rajas (passion) and Tamas (ignorance).A Sattvic lifestyle is a way of living designed to cultivate mental clarity, physical health, and spiritual growth. In Vedic culture, transitioning to the mode of goodness is the ideal way to overcome the agitation of passion and the dullness of ignorance.Key aspects of this lifestyle include first class behavioral Principles .A Sattvic lifestyle promotes ethical and mindful behavior centered around: Ahimsa (Non-violence): Cultivating compassion for all living beings truthfulness and honesty: Living a life of integrity and straightforwardness.Cleanliness (Saucha): Maintaining internal and external purity. Daily Routine and Mindsets centred on peace and harmony for all . Practising meditation, prayer, and Bhakti yoga to keep the mind steady and pure with devotion towards Divinity is essential. Action Without Attachment , and performing duties and offering charity with an attitude of service to Divinity and others , rather than seeking personal reward or recognition are Sattvic qualities. Ultimately, it means living in the mode of goodness that acts as a bridge to greater spiritual transcendence.
Society leaders must hear and be directed by these kinds of persons . CURRENTLY societies are led by ignorant and passionate persons, and the results are clearly seen.
