3 GUNAS AND FORMATION OF KARMENDRIYAS AND DNYANENDRIYAS

   When we talk about the organs of ACTION which are called KARMENDRIYAS as we do KARMA with them and organs of perception or DNYANENDRIYAS as we get KNOWLEDGE o of the out world with them. There is a concept as to how these are formed and how the 3 Gunas are used in the formation. There is a combination of 5 Great elements or PANCH MAHABHUTAS and the Gunas in the formation of the senses. With RAJASIC GUNA combining with 5 Great elements , we get organs of Action or KARMENDRIYAS The organs of action or organs that do the KARMA are 5 ,namely HANDS, LEGS, PROCREATION, EXCRETION AND SPEECH. It is interesting to note that speech is organ of action as what we say is an ACTION or Karma. The Karma happens when one does any action knowingly and also has DOERSHIP with it -I DID IT type of thinking. The activity of liver or kidney or any other organ does not have DOERSHIP and it is on autopilot. So though stomach digests food and liver is involved in metabolism , it is not considered as KARMA. The speech on the other hand is done intentionally and so it has Dooership-'I' DID. and so it is a Karma. The SATVIC GUNA combines with PANCH MAHABHUTAS or 5 great elements and forms the organs of PERCEPTION or DNYANEDRIYAS. the organs which give us the knowledge of the outer world. These are EYES,SMELL(NOSE),HEARING(EARS) TOUCH(SKIN) and TASTE(TONHUE). The TAMASIC GUNA  is involved in the formation of substrate for the organs of PERCEPTION or SENSES -DNYANENDRIYAS.These are -ROOP-shapes and forms for EYES,GANDH or smell for the NOSE, SHBAD or Sound -words for Ears to hear, SPARSH - TOUCH for skin to perceive and last one RAS or Taste for Tongue. We get attracted to the taste of food, pleasure of listening of music , visions of attractive things ,pleasant touch and aroma or fragrant of things. So that attachment is due to TAMASIC GUNA.
