Dear Smt Vedavalli, You have analyzed the issue of sAttvika ahankAram in a simple way, because of reading BhagavadgItA. sAttvikam is something due to sattvam. SrIla prabhupAda interprets sattvam as: 1) existence 2) mode of goodness. How do you correlate these two? There is a beautiful clue in 17-26 purport.
