The term 'sattva' literally means essence, purity, and character of mind. It is one of the three fundamental qualities ([[triguna]]). [A.S.Sutra Sthana 1/29]<ref name= Sangraha> Vridha Vagbhata, Ashtanga Sangraha. Edited by Shivaprasad Sharma. 3rd ed. Varanasi: Chaukhamba sanskrit series office;2012.</ref> It is characterized by lightness, knowledge, and enlightenment.<ref>NAMASTE - Portal [Internet]. [cited 2022 Jul 9]. Available from: http://namstp.ayush.gov.in/#/sat</ref> Psychological constitution, bio typology or body mind typology is an important concept of [[Ayurveda]]. Every individual has distinct physical, physiological, and psychological characteristics. [[Ayurveda]] classical texts provide a framework to help to understand an individual's mental constitution. The concept of [[sharira]] and [[manasa]] [[prakriti]] (somatic and psychic constitution) help to explain differences across individuals. The concept of the [[manas]] includes aspects of psychology, mind, and mental health. There are three characteristics of mind ([[mana]]) viz. sattva, [[rajas]], and [[tamas]]. These represent awareness, activity, and inertia, respectively. When one of these three is dominant in a person, that reflects in his or her personality. In Shreemadbhagwat Geeta, three attributes of nature are described: Sattva, rajas, and tamas.<ref>A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, 1972. Bhagavad-gītā as it is. Gunatrayavibhaga Yoga, Chapter 14, Shloka No. 5-8, New York: Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, Page No.488-492</ref>
