Tamas means darkness, illusion, ignorance, inertia, inactivity, dullness etc. It is one of the three fundamental qualities along with sattva and rajas. Tamas has two significant characters i.e. resistance and heaviness. These are responsible for restraining or controlling thoughts. It induces lethargy, fatigue, sleep etc. As per Bhagavad Gita, tamas is responsible for ignorance and sleep. It is the leading cause of darkness in the mind, negligence & delusion, illusion & hallucinations.[1]The excessive lazy and sleepy person has a tamas dominant psychic constitution (Tamasika manas prakriti). [ Cha. Sa. ShariraSthana 4/36]This article describes the concept and applications of tamas.
