<p style="text-align:justify;">A healthcare provider cannot treat an individual without comprehensive knowledge of his constitution. A study of human being can be initiated only after understanding concept of [[purusha]], that means holistic human being, the self ([[Aatma]]), consciousness, the cosmic man, etc., depending upon the context. This first chapter describes [[purusha]] in the context of samyoga purusha that means a logical body of six constituents (shad-dhatuja), of twenty-four constituents (chaturvimshati- tattvatmak), or that which is ideal for treatment (chikitsya purusha). The third meaning of [[purusha]] is in the context of ativahika purusha, a subtle body that passes on from one body to the next along with the soul. Besides these, there are several other forms or connotations described here in this text. This chapter answers all queries about the [[soul]], its origin, proof of existence, mind, its description, intellectual error and its adverse effect, types of miseries and their causes, etc. Thus this chapter describes aspects of human evolution, spirituality and psychology as well. </p> | |||

According to another classification, [[Purusha]] comprises of twenty four [[dhatu]], i.e. [[mana]] (mind), ten [[indriya]] (sensory and motor organs), five objects of sense organs and [[prakriti]] (consisting of eight [[dhatu]], viz. five [[mahabhuta]] (in their subtle form), [[ahamkara]] (ego), [[mahat]] (intellect) and ''avyakta'' (primordial element) [17] | According to another classification, [[Purusha]] comprises of twenty four [[dhatu]], i.e. [[mana]] (mind), ten [[indriya]] (sensory and motor organs), five objects of sense organs and [[prakriti]] (consisting of eight [[dhatu]], viz. five [[mahabhuta]] (in their subtle form), [[ahamkara]] (ego), [[mahat]] (intellect) and ''[[Avyakta|avyakta]]'' (primordial element) [17] | ||

# ''[[Purusha]]'' is considered as the main causative factor. Occurrence of intelligence, ignorance, support, movement etc. is not possible without existence of ''[[purusha]]''. ''[[Purusha]]'' is the supporting element for truth, falsehood, food and bad actions. ''[[Purusha]]'' i.e. conscious element provides the utility value to other things. The cause of ''purusha'' can be proved by all ''pramanas''. The organs of living beings are different but the entity responsible for their action is one and the same and that is the soul. Therefore, apart from the body which is in the constant process of decay, soul is eternal and responsible for all the actions and also experiences the results of such deeds.

# The supreme soul is without a beginning, but the ''rashipurusha'', which is a combination of 24 elements, is born due to the ignorant actions/deeds originated because of auspicious and inauspicious, and is therefore ephemeral. The twenty four elements are the combination of ''ashta [[prakriti]]'' and ''shodasha vikara''. ''Ashta [[prakriti]]'' comprises of the five subtle ''[[mahabhuta]]s, [[buddhi]], avyakta,'' and ''ahamkara''. ''Shodasha vikaras'' are five sense faculties (''jnanendriya''), five motor faculties (''karmendriya''), mind and five ''[[mahabhuta]]s''. The ''[[purusha]]'' along with the instruments of knowledge i.e. '';[[manas]], [[buddhi]], jnanendriya'' and ''karmendriya'' is responsible for the manifestation of things.

# The process of evolution incorporates the chain of events | # The process of evolution incorporates the chain of events that originate from [[avyakta]], [[avyakta]] produces [[buddhi]], [[buddhi]] produces [[ahamkara]], [[ahamkara]] produces the five subtle and five gross [[mahabhuta]]s, and (in the right sequence) and the bio-transformed five [[indriya]]s, constitute the [[Purusha]]. Thus, with this [[Purusha]] manifested in its entirety, the body (life) with its all constituents is said to be born (living life). Whereas during the process of dissolution the reverse changes take place. As a result of theses reverse changes the manifested one gets converted into the unmanifested one. Those who are afflicted with ''[[rajas]], [[tamas]]'' and have ego undergo the process of birth and death and rebirth. Others who are free of ''[[rajas]]'' and ''[[tamas]]'' and does not have ego are free from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. (65-69) | ||
# The soul is the source of consciousness and along with mind is responsible for all actions. As the mind does not have consciousness in spite of its involvement in all actions it is not held responsible for the actions. All the living beings themselves are responsible for their transmigration from one species/body to another. Though the soul is free to act, it can control the mind and get rid of the results of the actions of his own. As this soul with controlled mind pervades the entire universe it is considered Omni-prescient. But its contact with the mind makes him restricted with one body only. This soul becomes the sole witness of all actions performed. (70-85) | # The soul is the source of consciousness and along with mind is responsible for all actions.
