Wisdom is the discernment and awareness of how we live our lives. When this wisdom or intellect gets distorted by the misuse of our mental faculties, Prajnaparadha, crimes against wisdom in Sanskrit, occur.
From an Ayurvedic perspective the concept of imbalance refers indulging in unhealthy practices contrary to the benefit of ourselves. How often do we think about doing something only then to do the opposite.
Consider this:
1. Suppressing bodily urges is harmful to health
For health, sleep as much as you need, cry when sad, sneeze when needed, cough if necessary, eat when hungry, drink when thirsty, burp when bloated and have bowel movement when necessary.
2. Engaging in mental or physical violence is detrimental to health
Find healthier ways to release anger, stress and tension through physical exercise, be in good company with friends, and watch less violent movies
3. Over indulging in activities considered harmful to health
Moderation and balance in everything we do brings health and happiness.
4.Postponing healing
According to Ayurveda delaying treatment when necessary lacks equilibrium. It’s important for good health to look after your body and mind.
5. Finding the root cause of disease
Merely treating symptoms of disease is unwise. Ayurveda looks for the root cause in order to bring the body back into balance and health
6. Respect elders
Ayurvedic wisdom wants us to pay more attention to the knowledge and wisdom of elders for they have much to teach and help us learn and grow.
7. Choosing wrong company
In crimes against wisdom Ayurveda believes that keeping company with people of low moral character drains energy and compromises health in the long term. Take care with the company you keep.
8. Lacking good habits
Neglecting to develop self discipline and persistence causes the mind to become undisciplined and leads to poor quality of life. Look to develop self discipline and create good quality habits in life as the cornerstone of health.
9. Negative judgements and emotions
According to Ayurveda, cultivate good feelings, thoughts, be compassionate, develop an understanding of yourself and you pave the way to living a life of wisdom.
Ayurveda as a healing modality and preventative medicine is full of subtleties and nuances. While there are subtle differences between cultures, peoples, customs, food, environment, it’s worth noting subtleties of the various healing systems developed over centuries.
Ayurveda, an ancient Indian healing system dating back thousands of years, has a philosophy on the way we live in the world. In particular the philosophy of Ayurveda is to focus on restoring the balance to a series of interconnected conceptual systems.
With right effort, right thinking and right living we develop this wisdom of life and reap the rewards.
