There is a nice allegory written by Pratima Raichur, a well known author of books about Ayurveda. The allegory says:
"A deer is attracted by a delicious aroma floating in the air, but although he tirelessly searches every corner of the forest, unable to find it. With a sad look, deer do not understand that wonderful aroma is born inside his own belly. The deer will only reach perfection that craves when he looks inside."
Ayurveda is a traditional medicine system originated in India. In Sanskrit, the word Ayurveda comprises the words ayus, meaning "life" and veda, meaning "science." The "science or knowledge of life". The classic books of Ayurveda in their written form are almost 5.000 years old, although many aspects of Vedic knowledge have been passed down orally for thousands of years. It is believed that following the invasion of Alexander the Great in 326 B.C., was taken to Greece and other parts of the ancient world.
