Udyami in Different States of Mind
The Udyami 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 Udyami's mind is predominantly rajasic, the following outlines how it may manifest in each of these states.
Sattva
Peaceful. Clear.
They go after what they want in a confident manner, but with a peaceful mind in which they are empathetic to other’s needs. They are patient, persistent and enthusiastic. They do not make a show of their ambitions. They are silent achievers.
Rajas
Passionate. Active.
They are energetic, passionate, and restless. They are ambitious to be successful. Their confidence often propels them to achieve, even if they have to trample over a few people along the way. Their desire for achievement at all costs is often motivated by the pursuit of material wealth, power, and status. Their passion and fiery nature drives them to be attracted to any kind of intense endeavor. They get a rush out of physically aggressive activities and sports. Udyami’s passion fuels their love for competition, and they feel overjoyed when they defeat their opponent.
Tamas
Passive. Confused.
