The central fact of Indian Culture is its conception of the spiritual Ideal. Its core and essence is the
fundamental belief that the attainment of perfection is the sole purpose of man's life. Thus the worth
and value of all the other parts and aspects of our life is estimated and equated in terms of their utility
in serving this central Ideal. The value of human birth and body was accepted because man's body was
recognised as the supreme instrument through which to strive for reaching life's great consummation.
The ancient Seers, the Rishis of wisdom, therefore, spared no pains in carefully evolving a great system
of medicine tc help to keep this precious instrument, i.e Liberation". The intuitive sages of India were in
full awareness of this important fact for notwithstanding their lofty idealism they had the admirable
faculty to be intensely practical and thorough. . The Indian Seers in the past have devoted special
attention to the study of health, disease and therapeutics. They have worked upon Ayurveda or the
science of Life as another Veda. . Ayurveda believes in treatment by hei'bs which form its mainstay. The
greater part of the treatment of Ayurvedic practitioner is by medicinal herbs. How very minute and how
thoroughly scientific is their study of these herbs and their characteristics is amply evidenced by the
scholarly treatises of these ancient scientists in which subjects they have given us the results of their
admirable researches

structures and inheres in their elements and processes, as a principle of

with some idealists of the 17th and 18th, could therefore say, simply, that
the universe is made of intelligent substance. But at the same time, there

the proposition might seem to those inclined toward philosophical idealism.
And so the former will try to convince the latter of an atomistic
view of the brain and mind, a view critically examined and dismissed by
Bergson, Whitehead, and Sri Aurobindo almost a century ago, for example.
And the intuitivists will try to convince the atomists that everyone
and everything is a part of all the others by virtue of the universal principles
that determine each, a view criticized and dismissed by materialists
such as E. O. Wilson, Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins today.
And so we end up back in the calculating rational mind that holds fast to
the principles of empirical knowledge on one hand and spiritual knowledge
on the other. These opposing orientations to knowledge, the material
