Classification of human beings

According to hinduism, human beings are classified into three different ways:
 1.Tamasic
 2. Rajasic
3. Satvic

A Tamasic person is characterized by lazyness and inactivity whereas a rajasic person zestful person with a plethora of desires.A Satvic person is an embodiment of calmness and he is a perfectionist. Only one in  10 million achieve the satvic state. The satvic state can look similar to the tamasic state,but there are a cornucopia of differences between them. The movement to a satvic state is similar to climbing a ladder. The lowest state is tamasic state and the highest state is the satvic state.
A few years back, I was enthralled by these three states. I was part of an organization called as "Prajapita B
rhama Kumaris" which focused on getting to the satvic state. But, I did not fit into the organization as it was not convincing. The teachings were designed only for enlightened beings.People misunderstood the satvic  state to the tamasic state and I wasn't an exception to it.
I was told to be in soul consciousness.I tried to be in the soul consciousness only to see my grades declining at a rapid rate just like a water fall.One of my relatives advised me to refer swami vivekananda's books in chaotic times.I managed to find a small book called "Religion of Love" by swami Vivekananda.I misunderstood the credibility of the book by its size and the total number of pages.I critically analyzed about the three different states in the book. On deep introspection, I found out that I was actually living in the tamasic state rather than the satvic state. I was trying to find ways to move up the ladder. To move from tamasic to rajasic state, a person should have the desire to succeed in all activities. I started following the new strategy in my final semester. It is never too late to change. I got scintillating scores in gre and toefl as well as best speaker ribbons in toastmasters.
I need to continue in the rajasic state for a few years to move into the satvic state.
