Ayurveda and Its Philosophical Background. I. Textual References - Bruno Renzi
Ayurveda is profoundly associated with the mystery of life. The flow of life and the stream of intelligence are intimately linked by their origins: in this sense Ayurveda, or “knowledge of life”, harks back to the very first manifestation of cosmic existence.
Charaka defines existence with the term śāvasta, meaning “eternal”: in support of that theory, he believes that since there is no interruption in the flow of life nor, consequently, in the stream of intelligence or in its becoming, this confirms the eternal nature of knowledge.
