With the knowledge of strength and the factors useful in maintaining it, one can achieve better strength for leading a healthy and long life. But if strength is not good and one indulges in activities or dietary practices that weaken one’s strength or immunity, then the individual may get afflicted with diseases.

Three causes of nija (bodily) diseases are- asatmya indriyartha samyoga (atiyoga, ayoga, mithyayoga) (unwholesome contact of sense organs with objects), pragnyaparadha (intellectual blasphemy) and parinama (consequence). The three causes of all the somatic and psychological diseases are mithyayoga, ayoga and atiyoga of kala (time), buddhi (intellect) and indriyartha (objects of senses) (Ch. Su. 1/54).

Desires are the root cause of all the miseries of life, and therefore, elimination of desires leads to eradication of all miseries. Just as a silkworm spins its thread around itself causing its own death, similarly, an ignorant person, bound to worldly miseries of his own creation, remains unhappy all his life. (Ch. Sa. 1/95). Impairment of dhi, dhruti and smriti (intellect, patience and memory), variations of natural seasons, advent of actions and unwholesome contact with the objects of senses are the causative factors of miseries (diseases) (Ch. Sa.1/ 98). The details may be referred to in Sharira Sthana chapter 1.
