According to Osho, samskaras condense into layered willpower: 1) compulsive, habit-bound will (tamasic); 2) assertive, goal-driven will (rajasic); and 3) lucid, choiceless will (sattvic). The first two are conditioned pushes from the past; the last arises when impressions dissolve through awareness, turning effort into effortless alignment with being.
Your past habits push you to act blindly or chase goals, but with calm awareness a natural, effortless will appears.
