How disease is caused by mithya yoga (wrong involvement) of artha (senses). The sense of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching are our five senses. This ancient phrase from ayurveda says wrong involvement of them can cause disease. Let us examine each of them seperately.
Wrong involvement of seeing-
The act of seeing consume our energy. Now this energy is to be spent judiciously on seeing right things. Why sense of seeing has been bestowed upon us- so that we can see the threats and escape/avoid them and do things for our survival.
So, what are the wrong things which should be avoided. I will make an exhustive list- would you agree that watching TV or movie or playing computer games or unnecassarily watching short videos or reading social messages on various chat and social apps is good for you- your answer would be that this should not be done as it as one waistage of time.
This ancient phrase goes beyond it- it says doing it results in diseases. I know, you will ask how is it possible. The anwer is simple- it will cause eye related diseases such as weakness of eyes, early age cataract, dry eyes, hazy sight, night blindness, seeing haloes at night and blindness, etc.
I know you still disagree with me. Let me try to explain it more scientifically. We loose energy in the act of seeing; the more we see the more energy we will loose. Let me tell you, we all have limited energy in our eyes- unjudicious use of it will render your eyes diseased and tired.
Of course, our sense of seeing should be used to protect ourselves from enemies, to walk on the road and to cross the road, etc. It should be used to earn our livelihood. But any unnecessary use of it is wrong involvement of our sense of sight and should not be done.
Have you looked in a child's eye- they are so clear and pulsating with energy; have you looked into an old man's eys- if they tired and spent- it means he has not used his sense of seeing judiciously and if they are fresh and child like- it means he used his eyes judiciously- you can call such a person spirtually.......
