body, mind and soul, these three are like a tripod, the world stands on the whole, in their take home everything. This set is for the Purusha, to be conscious. This is the subject of Ayurveda, which is why that the teachings of Ayurveda have been revealed.
Charaka Samhita, I.46-47 Sutrasthana
For a clear understanding of the basic concepts of Ayurveda, you need to see what are the philosophical principles from which they originate and what is the cosmology, that is, as is the process of creation. The cosmological and philosophical system of Ayurveda is based on a philosophy of Samkhya, one of six systems of Vedic philosophy. The six systems of Indian philosophy are:
1. Nyaya - School of logic,2. Vaisheshika - School of atomism,3. Samkhya - School of cosmic principles,4. Yoga - Yoga School,5. Karma Mimamsa - School of rituals,6. Vedanta - School theological or metaphysical.
Samkhya was originally exposed by the sage Kapila in a very remote and are mainly of cosmic principles, we find it in the basic insights of the Vedas and the Upanishads. Both the classical Yoga described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra, the classic of Ayurveda Charaka and Sushruta are based on the Samkhya school of thought.
The concept of Dharma or the Law of Nature
In Ayurveda we speak of the four main goals of life that the Dharma is the first (the other three are artha, wealth, fulfillment of desires Kama, and Moksha, liberation).
Dharma refers to the natural laws that govern the entire universe, Dharma is the fundamental principle that sustains all of creation, which maintains the harmony and support the development of everything favoring the growth to maximum expression. The principles of "dharma", such as the laws of physics are the same for all beings, the dharma indicates the fundamental universal laws on which to base its actions to have the support of the universe. Ayurveda is a
dharmic approach to health and daily life, life lived according to Dharma is the basis of all ayurvedic treatments, systems and Ayurvedic lifestyles.
Dharmic action gives inner peace and happiness and allows to follow the spiritual practice, an action contrary to the Dharma, even though it may give some temporary external benefits, restricts consciousness and produces a state of obfuscation and agitation of the mind. All life in search of peace and happiness, and eventually this research brings the individual on the path of Dharma and the benefits it brings.
One of the most important laws Dharmic is the law of karma which can be summarized with the famous maxim "you reap what you sow" in the sense that sooner or later in life one must experience the fruit of their actions. Another very important principle dharmic concerning the sphere of ethics is ahimsa or "non-violence," more specifically means having an attitude that you do not wish harm to any creature.
Ahimsa about action, word and thought, the teachings of Gandhi and how he worked to free India from British rule is perhaps the best known example of this application principle. Ahimsa is the foundation of Ayurvedic advice to prefer a diet vegetarian food, as well as the business or profession you choose in life, should follow an energy of love and not cause harm to other creatures and the environment.
In a way everything is being globalized - economic, environmental, cultural, compatible development, etc.. - Is becoming increasingly clear that you can not succeed in life or attain wisdom at the expense of others and the environment in which we live.
Ayurveda, like yoga, recommending the daily practice of songs and prayers to pray for universal peace and convey the strength of non-violence and its great healing energy. One of these songs says
Sarve bhavantu sukhinah Sarve santu niramayah Sarve bhadrani pasyantuma kascit duhkhabhak bhavet. Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.they all be happy that everyone is free from the evil that all wish the good of others that no one should suffer. OM, peace (for us), peace (the world), peace (the universe). View of the universe and of human beings based on the Samkhya philosophy.
To explain all the processes of creation taking place in the universe, the Samkhya presupposes the existence of 24 primary cosmic principles (tattva) with a twenty-fifth represented by the Pure Consciousness that transcends all things manifest.
Purusha - Pure Consciousness
The basic principle of origin of the universe is consciousness, the wonderful order of the universe reflects the work of a supreme intelligence that is called Purusha. The Pure Consciousness is the source of subjectivity and sense of self, through which individuals feel able to act independently.

All of us see ourselves as endowed with consciousness, that is because there is a connection with the Purusha within us, is also synonymous with Purusha Atman or higher self. Since the intangible nature of Purusha, he needs the material world for the chance to experience.
