गुणत्रयम् · The Three Strands — Gītā, The Awakening Call
गुणत्रयम्  The Three Strands

Sixteen readings, one moving point

Nothing in the song comes in three kinds by accident. Food, faith, giving, letting go, knowing, firmness, joy — all of them sort by the same three strands. Drag the point inside the triangle and every reading below recomposes to the mix you are standing in.

Sattva
सत्त्वम् · light
Rajas
रजः · fire
Tamas
तमः · fog

Let it turn आवृत्तिः They take turns — one rises by overpowering the other two. The field is never at rest. 14.9–10
Sit like a guest Watch the mix turn without following it. 14.22–25

What the mixer cannot do

You cannot dial yourself serene. The point moves whether or not a hand is on it — that is the whole point of letting it turn. What the song offers instead is not control but two things.
