| On understanding human beings |
Master Atreya said: |
The sages wanted to find a way to understand human beings and how they function. Because Bharadvaj was the strongest, he was chosen to bring this wisdom from Indra and deliver it to the others. Atreya lectured on what he knew to his pupils, and they then turned Ayurveda into songs. The Ayurveda we know today is the written form of the verses spoken by Atreya.
Bharadvaj, the great ascetic, went to Indra, the god and savior, to seek long life. Indra is not a person, but an energy that contains the entire area of Brahma, an endless area in which all galaxies are found. There is not one place in the entire universe that does not fall under the sway of this energy.
It is written that Indra is the god of lightning and rain. People once prayed to Indra to change the weather, to protect them from natural catastrophes, floods, storms and tsunamis, but that is not everything that Indra controls. He controls the movement of every electron in the universe, the power of all the atoms and the elements, including human anatomy and physiology, all the energy there is.
Bharadvaj thought about this power. He was interested in how human beings are created, what their bodies are like, what their energy is like, what their thoughts are like. He entered the state of Samadhi, connected with the god Indra, and learned everything about the sharir-rachna (the construction of the human body) and the sharir-kriya (the functionality of that construction). He learned all of anatomy and physiology in meditation by connecting with Indra.
