"This is the mark of a perfect character - to pass through each day as though it were the last, without agitation, without torpor, and without pretense."

Without sattva you can never reach the Supreme. Wherever you are, in whatever station, from there you have to reach sattva in varying degrees because tamas will be reduced only when the mind's agitations, vikshepas are quietened. As agitations quieten, sattva increases slowly.
