Herbs in Indian medicine
Appointment of plants is to turn the light into life. Appointment of people is transforming lives into the consciousness of love. These three elements - light, life and love are what is common, one of them is the expression of another, three measurements of the same existence. Plants convert light into life through photosynthesis. But the man turns life into consciousness through perception, through an act of direct perception of the prophet contemplates becoming the subject of contemplation, the observer - the subject of observation. The Sanskrit name of the plant osadhi - literally means "vessel" or "consciousness", dhi, which is the burning transformation of osa.
The man is a plant that carries consciousness. The plant, which has a similar process in the "lower level" of evolution, nourishes our minds and nervous system, thus facilitating the process. At higher levels - as well as the lower "the entire universe - is the metamorphosis of the world.
When a plant or herb is used properly, but at the same time releasing its true strength, it means to communicate with them. When we are dealing with a plant, we seem to merge with them and then they are revitalizing our nervous system and strengthen our perception.
For this reason, many people are deeply revered by ancient vegetable kingdom. The corresponding sense was not at all imbued with prejudices, trembling, or simply the perception of beauty.
It was determined to get the perception of power that plants give us. In this case the force is not limited to that little bit of it, which is linked to eating plants, but due to all of our communion with them.
The prophets of ancient Indian approach to treatment with the help of herbs from the standpoint of just such a consciousness. Their science was not science based on experiment and took the form of direct involvement. Experimentation means certain stress, the distance between the observer and the object of observation, subject and object. As a result of experimentation provides mediation, measurement, translation into another "language", when anatomical examination of the corpse prevents the entry of the soul. Direct perception, or meditation, yoga is the subject of science. Yoga allows you to show essentially immanent element. When the person is performed and then finds himself totally material and spiritual potential.
Relevant prophets, through the yoga of perception, could hear what they say plants. And the plants open their secrets, many of which are much more sophisticated than the possibility of chemical analysis. And if we approach the plants today from the same position - not as a means for our self-centeredness, but as an integral component of our true unity, then the true value of the plant will serve us.
