A Review on Concept of Atma with Speical Reference to Charak Samhita
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
: Ayurveda is the science of life which deals with healthy living. The ayurvedic texts apart from being a treatise on medical science also hold an asthetic view of life and consider the human body not only as anatomical entity seen through eyes they regard it as an entity which comes into existence when the sharir (body)combines with Atma (soul) .Indian philosophy, Indian culture as well as Indian Medical science all hold a common view of accepting the existence of The Atma (soul). This concept is unique and less number of people are aware of it in the world. Our Indian philosophy also believes in karma (actions), destiny,rebirth and Paramatma (supreme spirit). The validation of this view of ancient sages is proven through Pramanas (scientific epistemology). Thus the article is a review on the concept of Atmaas described in CharakSamhita.The concept of Atma and is though very interesting yet the reason why we cannot understand the essence of Atmais because all our sense organs, mind and the intellect have got a limited scope of knowledge but the all-pervadingAtma monitors that knowledge which they possess. Thus the nferior object cannot visualize the superior object entirely. Everything else can only shine in the light of Atma. Substances or attributes are to be known and the one who knows is called the knower. Atma is the substance which is the knower.
