Bhagavad Gita 14.17
सत्त्वात्सञ्जायते ज्ञानं रजसो लोभ एव च।प्रमादमोहौ तमसो भवतोऽज्ञानमेव च॥
sattvāt sañjāyate jñānaṁ rajaso lobha eva cha pramāda-mohau tamaso bhavato ’jñānam eva cha
Translation
From Harmony wisdom is born, and also greed from Motion; heedlessness and delusion are of Inertia and also unwisdom.
What it means
From sattva knowledge arises; from rajas, greed; from tamas, heedlessness, delusion and ignorance. Trace any inner state back to its guna. Self-observation becomes exact when you know the three sources.

If I fed my current dominant mode for a year, what would it grow?
