Ancient wisdom has always had a way of packaging profound truths into bite-sized insights, and Ayurveda is no exception. The ancient scholars meticulously crafted frameworks, strategies, and insights, leaving no stone unturned. Recognizing Ayurveda as the "science of life", they not only decoded the complexities of existence but also provided us with a clear roadmap. And, in their brilliance, they pinpointed the Three Main Causes of Disease AND equipped us with practical strategies to steer clear of them. Brilliant!
1. Time
2. Failure of the Intellect
3. Misuse of the 5 Senses
Let’s unpack this.
Time (kala) with its relentless forward march, is inescapable. But what if we could cushion its effects on our body? While we cannot stop time, we can slow the reactions our body has to time through healthy practices and slowing down. Ayurveda is often celebrated for its age-defying treatments, offering a roadmap to both rejuvenation and an extended lifespan. Yet, the secret doesn't solely lie in superfoods, potent herbs, or even immersive retreats and cleanses. Though these can help, it is much more about how daily rituals have long term impact on your own time cycle in this lifetime.
Failure of the intellect is when you know something is wrong for you but you do it anyway. We have all been there and Ayurveda points out that if we can control the mind to make better choices we can influence our overall health.
Misuse of the 5 Senses ties in very closely to failure of the intellect because when we fail reason we draw or impress sensory stimuli into our consciousness that may not serve us best.
