So this is a wonderful thing.
And Samkhya philosophy talks a great deal about that.
From the Sattva, the whole sensory world is created.
And from the Tamas, the whole objective world is created.
And Rajas is the bridge between Sattva and Tamas.
This is briefly Samkhya's philosophy.
I like that philosophy.
How old is the philosophy?
For Westerners, we say 5,000 because they don't like to go back.
Then it is more than 5,000.
It is 10,000 years old philosophy.
But, you know, for Westerners, they don't like anything which is very old.
They say it is prehistoric.
Ayurveda is the medicine of individual.
Individual medicine.
Sattva is the mind.
Atma is the conscious principle.
And Shari is the physical body.
So Ayurveda helps us to understand the Shari, the physical body, your Prakruti,
your Vikruti, then we have physical Prakruti, then we have mental Prakruti, and then we go into the pure consciousness.
