Acharya Prashant explains the distinction between Tamsik and Satvik action. He defines Tamsik action as a state where one is conditioned and in bondage, yet feels untroubled and confident, believing they are doing the right thing and are in the right place. This state is called Tamsikta. He likens this to a drunk person who cares nothing for the world due to intoxication. In contrast, Satvikta is when a person cares little for the world because they have realized its intrinsic nature. He clarifies that there is a fine line between these two states because of an apparent similarity: in both, the individual appears confident and unconcerned with the world. However, the source of this confidence differs greatly. The Tamsik person is confident because they are totally deluded, while the Satvik person is confident because they are liberated. Tamsikta is considered the lowest of the three Gunas of Prakriti because it keeps one in a state of dangerous comfort and rest, making one insensitive to their own suffering. This is illustrated by the image of a drunkard sleeping blissfully on railway tracks, oblivious to the impending tragedy. Such a person is not only in the wrong place but feels no need to change. Acharya Prashant observes that most people are Tamsik in nature, feeling comfortable in their skin and resisting any of life's attempts to show them the mirror. This desire to believe everything is okay, often mislabeled as positivity, is a significant problem, akin to willfully hiding a disease. Conversely, Satvikta is when one is truly on the right track, understanding the ways of life and the self-deluding nature of the inner self. In this state, one is no longer in bondage. Satvikta is the highest point possible for the mind, and beyond it lies the Gunatit state—transcendence of the Gunas—which is the pure self, the Truth, as explained in Vedanta.
