According to Ayurveda, your mind controls your senses
and your body and therefore it is the mind which
determines whether you are using your senses and your
body to enhance your spirituality and progress in your life,
or you choose to stagnate. A man in order to be healthy,
has to be of sound body, mind and soul - Tana, Mana and
Prana or Aatma. He has to understand that spirit is the
intelligence of life and matter is its energy.

Chronic Illness
According to Ayurveda, your mind controls your senses
and your body and therefore it is the mind which
determines whether you are using your senses and your
body to enhance your spirituality and progress in your life,
or you choose to stagnate. A man in order to be healthy,
has to be of sound body, mind and soul - Tana, Mana and
Prana or Aatma. He has to understand that spirit is the
intelligence of life and matter is its energy.
