How to cultivate Sattvic Guna and sustain in it

Sattvic guna is a force favorable for the attainment of moksha. A sattvic mind is always steady and finds delight internally. Sattva guna is developed by japa, vichara, satsanga, meditation, light sattvic food, tapas, and svadhyaya. When it comes to actual practice, the mind even after raising fantastic, curious thoughts and pretending to do vichara, will do nothing. It needs actual practice for months steadily and a longing for self-realization. An increase of sattva guna and pure, strong, determined Will pave way for God-realization.
