It’s a Sanskrit word that means “unmoving”. In Hindu philosophy, Sattva is the third of the three states of consciousness, or gunas, that are said to characterize all things. The other two states are Rajas, which is active and energetic, and Tamas, which is passive and dull. Sattva is said to be the state of balance between these two gunas.
