Rishi Of Ancient India |
The Tamo guna or principles on the descending node has three characters, the 'Pasav' or brutal nature, the next is 'Matsya' nature which can be described in someway as selfishness, and the last one is 'Vanaspattya' nature. For example if this can be compared to a tree then its without any blossoms. The persons belonging to the pasav or brutal nature are mostly adhered to leading a wreckless and indisciplined way of life. They always shy away from taking responsibilities, rough and rude in nature and very inclined to sexual pleasure. But Susruta goes one step further and says to fulfil their sexual desire they are prepared to go to any extent. The next in line is Matsya nature. Persons of this type are restless ignorent and cowardly in nature. They are unable to come to terms even with similar type of persons and get pleasure by inflicting suffering on others and has a close affinity to water. They always remain dissatisfied with everything. The last one in line is Vanaspattya. People with this quality are aimless in life and makes no effort towards its fulfilment. The one and only thing they are truely fond of is eating as if thats their only aim in life and absolutely disinterested with anything else. Now lets have an insight with the nature of persons who are influenced by vaiyu or air, pitta or bile and kafa or phlegm. According to Susruta samhita the overall type of people who are effected by vaiyu or air are rough in nature and outlook and are self centered. They are unable to accept success of others. They are born jealous and rude in behaviour and ready to find fault at others. They are not prepared to trust anyone easily and always exhibit a restless state. However there isnt much difference between Susruta and Bagvatta regarding these type of men except that Bagvatta goes a step further and states that apart from being jealous by nature they also have a domination desire and perhaps thats what makes them rather aggressive. The next are those who are effected by 'pitta' or bile. According to Susruta samhita these type of men swet profusely and has a foul odour in their mouth and has a very mild yellowish tinge on their skin. Aging takes place rather quickly by untimely loss of hair along with wrinkles on their face and frequently suffer from oral and various other diseases. By nature they have a strong appetite, but even though short tempered they can calm down easily. They are mostly intellegent meritorious very straightforward immensely energetic and hard working and generally keep themselves away from vices. The third and the last are the ones who are effected by kafa or phlegm. According to Susruta samhita people of this kind involves both fair and dark complexioned ones. They have a well defined structure and are very good natured and helpful to others. Lust and greed cannot overpower them and has great perseverence. They are always eager to know and learn about new things and usually reserved. They dont easily get affected by diseases.
Now lets have a short discussion on mind vis-a-vis ayurveda. It says that the memories are the past experiences that lies embedded in the layers of the mind. They guide us in our daily life backed by the experiences from the past. Charak says "Vrikkhyonte karonanastou smritiryairupajayate ; nimittarupagrahanat shadrishat sabiparyoayat; sattanubandhat avassat gyanoyoagt punahsrutat; dristosrutanuvutanang swamaranat smritiruchyate" It says that there are eight factors that gives rise to the memory. Whether its heard or seen or felt it is the eight factors that ultimately gets transformed to memory. They are (1) reasoning (2) nature (3) similarity (4) dissimilarity (5) 'sattanubandh' this part of the memory includes both similarity and dissimilarity. (6) habit (7) repeatedly hearing anything (8) twelvefold knowledge or in other words gyanyoga. According to 'Atreya' its not necessary that all the eight factors must contribute as a whole. Reasoning wit and intelligence too plays a more significant role at times than our sences. (1) Coming back to reasoning the mind itself remains intimately entwined with reason. For instance when we see smoke from a distance the mind interprets there must be fire and if there is fire there will be smoke. When there are dark clouds on the sky there will be rain. In other words there can't be rain without clouds or cloud without rain. This is reasoning. (2) In a very simple way we can say nature of anything gives birth to memory. When fire is lit it removes darkness, it has heat energy, it can burn etc. The mind instantly flashes these. This is the binding of nature with mind. (3) Similarity can be best described when we observe a person with a small tuft of hair on the head a sacred thread and a shawl around, the memory finds out the similarity and tells us its a priest.
