These three gunas are basic attributes of mother Nature who creates the universe with the help of these three gunas.
Sattva - Is the light, the purity, the kindness charity and compassion
Raj - is ego, bravery, jealousy, wars, struggles and helping with a motive
Tam - is inertia, selfishness, shrewdness troubling others and keeping everything without progress.

In his Purport to Srimad-Bhagavatam 8:12:4, further explains:

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu, resides within the material world as the sattva-guna-avatara. Lord Siva is the tamo-guna-avatara, and Lord Brahma is the rajo-guna-avatara, but although Lord Visnu is among them, He is not in the same category. Lord Visnu is deva-deva, the chief of all the demigods. Since Lord Siva is in this material world, the energy of the Supreme Lord, Visnu, includes Lord Siva. Lord Visnu is therefore called jagad-vyapi, "the all-pervading Lord." Lord Siva is sometimes called Mahesvara, and so people think that Lord Siva is everything. But here Lord Siva addresses Lord Visnu as Jagad-isa, "the master of the universe." Lord Siva is sometimes called Visvesvara, but here he addresses Lord Visnu as Jagan-maya, indicating that even Visvesvara is under Lord Visnu's control. Lord Visnu is the master of the spiritual world, yet He controls the material world also, as stated in Bhagavad-gita (mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sacaracaram). Lord Brahma and Lord Siva are also sometimes called isvara, but the supreme isvara is Lord Visnu, Lord Krsna."

In other words Lord Vishnu is the master of this universe and Satva Guna  which drives us towards Mukti and Lord Shiva & Bramha are the master of Raj & Tamo Guna which drives us towards better Life.
