Impregnable mind in somatic pathology

Introduction

Manas otherwise the mind is imperial in its seat and actions. The mind accommodates

the consciousness, thought, volition, and feeling. Its role in attention, concentration,

intellect, memory or opinion derivation or the way of thinking or feeling normalcy or

insanity of a person in regard to mental faculties against objects are well established in

the good olden medical faculties such as Ayurveda. Thus, one’s behaviour and mind is

used to qualify a statement of healthy or illness. Comfort of mind ultimately results in

happiness and diseased state requires ones to go for console. The sentient Atma and

Manas with the non-sentient Indriya and Shareera becomes the wholesome functional

human.

Mano Guna - Qualities of Mind

AhÉÑiuÉqÉjÉcÉæMüiuÉÇ ²ÉæaÉÑhÉÉæ qÉlÉxÉ: xqÉ×iÉÉæ – cÉUMü vÉÉUÏU 1/20

Anutwa (minuteness) and Ekatwa (unification) are the two qualities of the

Mind. The minuteness is identified by the many subject cognation from

different senses. Here the fact is Manas is so fast cognates with different

objects like “Stapatrasuchi” penetrates in many lotus leaves at once, but

practically at a microsecond to each one. This is because of the Vibhutwa,

Amurtatwa, Anutwa, Chalatwa, Chanchalatwa, Ekatwa qualities of Manas.

Manas is Trigunatmakam, i.e. the Trigunas (Satwa, Rajas and Tamas) rides

on the Manas. Thus the Manas is three verities. At the disease manifestation

the Satwa (Kalyanamsha) doesn’t gives raise any disease. Where in the

Rajas (Roshamsha) and Tamas (Mohamsha) are potent manifestations of the

mental attitudes or disease. Charaka defines it as –

Manasika Roga

There is a specified placement of Manasa Roga in Ayurveda.

Charaka contributed two chapters in Nidana as Unmada (Psychotic disorders)

and Apasmara (Psycho-Somatic disorders) apart from Mano Prakruti vikruti

(Psychotic personalities).

Manas and mano hetu are told either for Smanyaja or Nanatmaja vikara.

Shareerika (somatic) and Manasika (psychotic) Dosha Vyadhi

interrelationship is well established as Kama, Shoka and Bhaya aggravates

Vata and Kroodha and Shoka to Pitta. Achintana and Harsha cause Kapha

vitiation.

Rajoguna makes Vata to aggravate and Tamo guna to Kapha.

Even though the manasika Vyadhi are of mano Dosha janya, Shodhana

Chikitsa is based on shareerika Dosha management only.

Charaka at Janapadodhwamsaneeya chapter states that the disease

development initiated with mano-vikara and manasa roga.
