Answer 1

Satva is the good or elevated quality of live - a way of living that leads us to happiness and enjoyment, irrespective of the results of our action. It leads us to thoughtful work without any expectation. Here we do our work considering it as our laid down duty and we stop bothering about the results and keep no expectations. We face the situations of life calmly and as they present, keeping our inner peace and balance. Satva quality is light and knowledge, wisdom and the calm and quiet of mind. Satva elevates the soul.

Answer 3

Ayurveda says every human being is a creation of two energies, the male energy called Purusha and the female energy called Prakruti. Prakruti is further influenced by three basic universal qualities — satva (essence), rajas (energy) and tamas (inertia). Satva is responsible for perception, since it creates the ears to hear, eyes to see, tongue to taste, nose to smell and the skin to sense touch. Rajas, on the other hand, gives rise to sensations and emotions. Finally, tamas is the tendency towards inertia and darkness, and is responsible for creation of the five basic elements — space, air, fire, water and earth.
