The second guna is rajas, that is the stage when man starts the active process of self-development, transcends dumb primitiveness, grows as a warrior, and then as a leader, organizer of other people. The third guna is sattva, that is purity, harmony, bliss, happiness.
Villi also help the food to move along the digestive tract. Food takes three to six hours to move through the small intestine. The small intestine has three parts, the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.
The villi also have digestive enzymes on their surface. Digested food passes into the villi through diffusion. Villi have very thin walls that are about one cell thick, and this helps ensure superior absorption. The villi are connected to blood vessels to allow nutrients to be carried away by the blood.
