Nowhere else in the world, medical science has been put into poems. Here you find that the entire Ayurveda text is in the former of poetry.
DAY3
🌹Ishavasya Upanishad.
The Password to Divinity.
The Rishi says Shanti, Shanti, Shanti - three times. At the first level, when your environment is disturbed you cannot think about or contemplate on knowledge. The environment needs to be congenial.
Then your body - mind complex needs to be fit. And then, peace at the third level, the level of the Self or Being.
Chanting balances our left and right brain. Left brain is logic, right brain is music. People who are emotional love to repeat things. When you are in love with somebody you like to say " I love you " several times, not just once. But a left brain person finds it funny and unpleasant. What is the point in repeating? Repetition appears to be boring when you are in the left brain.
The same repetition is so palatable when the right brain is active. Repetition has been a part of all learning from ancient times. Logically understand the knowledge yu receive and then to turn it into wisdom, the knowledge you receive and then the turn it into wisdom, to make it a part of your life, it needs that emotional integration.
That's why it is important to sing as well. It is so amazing to see that in Ayurveda,even the Materia Medica - all the written text on the subject, is in the former of a poem.
Perhaps nowhere else in the world, medical science has been put into poems. Here you find that the entire Ayurveda text is in the former of poetry.
Knowledge with rhythm turns it into wisdom and that is why repetition or chanting is also very significant when you are learning something about the Upanishad or any scripture for that matter. So everyday we will chant a few minutes.
