1. The journey from being a seeker to becoming a disciple A. Having the quality of selflessness and the attitude of sacrifice, which are essential for spiritual practice: Sadguru Vaidyacharya (Dr) Vasant Balaji Athavale started noting down higher level philosophical thoughts on Spirituality in 1980. He toiled day and night to create a vast treasure of knowledge on Spirituality. Very altruistically, He donated this treasure to Sanatan Sanstha (to become Sanatan's Texts) in 1990, soon after the Sanstha was established. This sacrifice, before He became a Saint indicates the level of His spiritual practice & seekership. Due to His writings, Sanatan's Texts are now becoming inclusive in the true sense. B. In 2004, He became Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale's disciple (A great Saint who is also His younger brother and is the Founder of Sanatan Sanstha, the world-renowned spiritual organisation).
Modern medical science studied various constituents of human body as well as constituents of food (nutrients) that nurture human body in detail, and provided us in-depth information on the proportion and functions of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and water in all the nutrients.
Ayurveda, on the other hand, has conducted in-depth study of the qualities of each food item and has gone a step ahead and studied their subtle effects on the doshas of Vata, Pitta and Kapha; the seven tissues (plasma, blood, muscle, fat, bone marrow, nerves and reproductive tissues); and organs such as heart, brain, etc.
Ayurveda gives as much importance or rather greater importance to diet than medicines; this is precisely the reason why a Vaidya (Ayurveda Doctor) lays greater emphasis on dietary norms for maintaining health in case of general people and for recovery in case of patients. The logic is simple. As medication we take just one spoonful of syrup or a tablet; in comparison, our meal is quantitatively enormous. Ayurveda has identified and categorised the medicinal properties of food items and elaborated on their qualities.
