Error and illusion are relative and necessary steps, both being summed up in the ladder of truth. The three gu?as – sattva , rajas , and tamas – are utterly inseparable though distinguishable.

Abstract
This chapter explores the fact that śraddhā (truth-force or heart force; love-in-action, self-reliance, faith-in-oneself, and also enthusiasm) may be said to represent the key noticeable outcome of spirituality, yoga, and meditation, and also that śraddhā can be seen as the main category to bridge the gap between science and spirituality. Being itself the truth-force that is common to scientists (atheists or not) and people of different faiths, śraddhā represents a conceptual category that helps us to explain how science evolves shifting from one paradigm to another.
