Pragna Sahityama Sudhara Ange Suchano Apava Babat If we look at different people in the world around us, we observe that all of us are not all alike. Each one of
us is different in many ways, both physically and mentally. We ought to understand our own nature and the
nature of others for our own happiness and well-being in life. The shapes and size, temperaments and
characters of people have lot of variations that must affect our health and happiness.
According to A yurved, physical diseases occur mainly owing to external factors like wrong diet or
exposure to pathogens. Mental diseases arise mainly from internal factors, like wrong use of the senses and
the increase of negative emotions. We ought to develop the habit of positive thinking. It has a good positive
effect on our emotions. However, both physical and psychological diseases are usually mixed and one
seldom occurs without the other. Some diseases, like acute infections, have almost entirely physical causes and can be treated purely on a physical level. However, most diseases have psychological cause and all lasting diseases have psychological effects. A physical disease disturbs the emotions and weakens the senses, which may result into physical troubles. They lead to dietary problems, strain the heart and nerves and weaken the physical body.In the modern developed world, our problems are mainly psychological. We have sufficient food, clothing and shelter, which prevent us from getting most physical diseases. Though most of us have no major physical problems, we still suffer from psychological unrest. This unrest may manifest as feelings of loneliness, not being loved or appreciated, anger, stress, or anxiety. It can lead to the weakening of our physical energy and prevent us from doing what we really want to do. Our very way of life breeds unhappiness. We have hectic and unstable routines in which there is little peace or contentment. We have disturbed the organic roots of life, like good food, water and air, and a happy family life. We live in an artificial world dominated by an urban landscape and mass media. There is little to nourish the soul. We always desire new things and are seldom content with what we have. We always crave to have more. We are never still or at rest. Our medicine is more a quick fix to keep us going in our wrong lifestyles and rarely addresses the behavioural root of our problems. We take a quick pill hoping that our problem will go away, but we do not recognize that it may only be a symptom of an imbalanced life. It is a warning light that we must notice. Ayurved, on the other hand, teaches harmony with nature, simplicity and contentment as keys to wellbeing. It shows us how to live in a state of balance in which fulfillment is a matter of being, not of having. It connects us with the source of creativity and happiness within ourselves so that we can permanently overcome our psychological problems. Ayurved provides a real solution to our health problems which requires to change how we live, think and observe.
