The word Purusha simply denotes a holistic human being. The definition also says combination of soul, senses and psyche is purusha, which means a living human being. The physical body which is made up of flesh and blood when combines with atma (soul) becomes a human being. So it is the atma which gives life to the physical body. So here atma or chetana dhatu (the element that which gives life) is considered as purusha at the same time the material body is also considered as purusha. As far a physician is concerned, he is giving more importance to the body which is a combination of mind, soul, senses, mahabhuta, intellect and ego. So that complete entity (holistic human being) is also called as purusha and further it is clarified that it should be focused for treatment.

Atma or chetana dhatu (element of consciousness) is utmost important for creation of life. In clinical practice, the physician treats a combination of mind, soul, senses, mahabhuta, intellect and ego. This gives rise to holistic system of medicine.
As per the Indian philosophy, whatever happening to a person is due to the effect of his own deeds(karma) in this life or in the previous life. Ayurveda believes that rashipurusha is responsible for all deeds in life and has to face the consequences of these deeds. It is also responsible for the (creation/gaining of) knowledge, pleasure, sorrow, and joy Since purusha refers mainly to living human being, his deeds can also be called as purusha or purushakara because it defines that person.

Purusha without a beginning, neither have an end also. But the purusha with a beginning is ephemeral.(Cha.Sa. [[Sharira Sthana]] 01/059) The eternal purusha can be considered as the absolute soul and that with a beginning and end suggests the combination of soul with other elements.
