As per Hindu thought, every activity is mostly governed by three modes of Nature. Satvo Guna (mode of goodness), Rajo Guna (mode of passion) or Tamo Guna (mode of darkness). Explaining the meaning of these, spiritual leader Morari Bapu said on Day 39 of Hari Katha during Lockdown that the act of creation is not possible with Rajo Guna including the birth of a child.

Maintenance of anything that has been created – animate or inanimate - is not possible without Satvo Guna, and destruction or putting an end to an event or activity requires Tamo Guna.
