(scripture) and yet worship with faith ? Is their faith Sattva, Rajas or Tamas?"1
॥ श्रीभगवानुवाच ।। त्रिविधा भवति श्रद्धा देहिनां सा स्वभावजा । सात्विकी राजसी चैव तामसी चेति तां शृणु ॥ २ ॥ Lord said :
"Faith in person is of three types as it is an expression of their own nature. These three types are Sattvik, Rajasika and Tamasika”
सत्त्वानुरूपा सर्वस्य श्रद्धा भवति भारत । श्रद्धामयोऽयं पुरुषो यो यच्छ्रद्धः स एव सः ॥ ३ ॥
"Oh Bharat, Faith of each is in accordance with his nature. Each person has some sort of faith and so each one is what his faith is." - 3
यजन्ते सात्त्विका देवान् यक्षरक्षांसि राजसाः । प्रेतान्भूतगणांश्चान्ये यजन्ते तामसा जनाः ॥ ४ ॥
"' "Those who are Sattvik persons worship gods, Rajasik ones worship Yakshas while Tamasika persons worship ghosts and other spirits." - 4
