Know
thyself
Introduction
Your
personal constitution, which is your individual metabolic make-up,
helps determine how your mind and body will instinctively react
when confronted with and how much effect any stimulus, as a specific
taste or emotion, will have on you. This inborn metabolic pattern
is called Prakriti. The personality
traits most prized or the qualities disliked all equally arise from
these tendencies inherent in your prakriti.
Determined
by the doshic state of your parents at the time of your conception,
your constitution is influenced by your parents' genetics also.
And once set along with the tendencies, it cannot be altered. However,
one can learn to adjust so as to reduce distortions, prevent imbalances
and treat them when necessary. Also learn the whys and hows of dealing
with others. Knowing your own constitution thus allows you to understand
the workings of your mind and body better, thereby allowing greater
control over the traits through planned and adequate changes incorporated
into your lifestyle.
