| '''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]], 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.
