Ayurveda on how human nature decays
A person always listens good and virtuous things from saints, teachers, etc. but real nature does not allow him or her to change his life. Listening and knowing good things is useful only for the person who can change his nature.
Love, compassion, service, childishness, free from arrogance, capabilities to execute works, purity, Brahmacharya, peace, nonviolence, truth, selflessness, contentment, mental composure, etc. are the part of our original nature. In one sentence,- the simple nature which we display naturally is our original nature. But the apparent nature which we try to get rid of after bearing it for some time is concocted nature.
Problems like agony, anger, struggle, fight etc. we face in the society, family, organization are basically caused by our ill nature. Usually we find people saying- the nature of this person can never be changed… we listen such things almost every day in our life. A person can part ways with his or nearest and dearest kin, but he or she cannot get rid of ill nature. Becoming Prime Minister, President, entrepreneur, rich and scholar may be tough, but changing our nature is the toughest.
The way you will have knowledge, similar will be your loyalty. If knowledge will be upgraded, nature too will be changed. Little knowledge, false knowledge, will make our nature shaky, and we get habituated to make frequent mistakes.
Therefore, extra knowledge, dedication, industry, capability to execute works can save us from bad habits. We should get indulged into any holy thing that much that we don't get time to think wrong. Our nature is a part of our resolve. We can change our bad habits if we have strong will power to do so. Unless we understand the cause of something, we cannot get its solution.
Before changing the bad habits, the question rises- why do I want to change my nature? There can be so many answers to this question- because this has been said by the teacher, elders etc. Among them self-realization is the best reason for change.
Mental condition and circumstances, there are certain reasons for the changes in the nature. For example- if one feels sudden anger, he should drink a glass of water, if one feels envy; remember almighty, for changing one's nature forever, there are certain ways which are following:
"Never show disrespect to your knowledge which you have got from your teacher, scriptures, experience, etc. it means, if you lead life according to such qualities, you will never catch any bad habit. We will always be connected to our main root. We will remain calm and composed and won't disturb others. By showing immense dedication to your mentor, you will be capable to change your bad habits." Acharya Balkrishna, famous Ayurveda Expert as well as botanist and the Co-founder of the Patanjali Yogpeeth.
