'''Guṇa''' (devanāgarī: गुण) is a [[Sanskrit]] word that means "quality", "virtue", "talent". In [[Samkhya]] philosophy, the guṇas are three major qualities or tendencies of prakṛti ([[cosmic matter]]) which are called: sattva (purity, equilibrium), rajas (passion, activity), and tamas (ignorance, inertia). Each of the three gunas is present in every particle of creation but the variations in their activity manifest the variety in creation.
