Sahasik - साहसिक
The Adventurer
The Cat
The Sahasik's are represented by the cat because like a cat, Sahasiks are very adventurous, curious, and cunning.
Adventurous
Cats love to investigate new environments and are natural explorers. They have excellent spatial memory can easily remember the layout of their environment, and how to find their way back home even when they venture dozens of miles away. Cats are agile and have a superb sense of balance, which allows them to climb and jump to high places, adding to their sense of adventure. Being independent goes hand-in-hand with being adventurous as cats like to go solo on their escapades. The popular saying that, “cats have nine lives,” rings true in that they are able to survive the dangerous situations that their adventurous nature gets them into.
Curious
Cats are known for their curious and inquisitive nature. They are attracted to new objects, movement, sounds or smells. There is certainly some truth to the old saying, “curiosity killed the cat,” as their curious nature can sometimes get our feline friends into trouble. For example, when they climb into small spaces that are irresistibly interesting and get stuck, or when they fall from high places. But that doesn’t dampen their curiosity. Cats are resilient animals and bounce back quickly, ready for their next adventure.
Cunning
Cats are often considered to be cunning animals and have a reputation for being clever and sneaky. They are known for their ability to stalk and hunt prey, and they often use their intelligence to outsmart their prey. Cats also tend to hide or conceal themselves, and they may use this ability to surprise or ambush animals or humans.

Sahasik in Different States of Mind
The Sahasik type belongs to the category of Movers and Shakers, who often gravitate toward high-power positions and typically exhibit a rajasic (passionate) mindset. However, the human mind naturally shifts between the three gunas: sattva, rajas, and tamas. While the Sahasik's mind is predominantly rajasic, the following outlines how it may manifest in each of these states.

They tend to be bold and eager to travel to foreign lands and faraway places to explore the origin of their spiritual path. Ambition and passion are the predominant drivers of whatever activity they throw themselves into. They thrive on adrenaline-inducing experiences, and often jump into something too soon, before they deliberate upon the unintended consequences of their actions. They thrive on stimulation. They are strong-willed and love a good challenge. They love to discover something new and are always up for an adventure.
