Statements attributed to the sage Saunaka offer an unusual perspective on how the structure and dynamics of the human being were understood by the great Ayurvedic sages (rishis) of the past.
Saunaka is mentioned in Chapter 25, sutras 26–27, of the Sutra-Sthana section of the classical Ayurvedic work Charaka-Samhita, where he puts forward a particular view of the origin and causes of disorders, conditions, and diseases (roga).
The name of the great sage Saunaka is rather uncommon. The word saunaka is not necessarily a personal name, as it is most often presented in traditional Indian writings; it is also frequently cited as a common name for a well-known tree of the Ayurvedic tradition, ashoka (Saraca indica L.). This tree, also called Shaunaka or Saunaka, is described as an imposing tree with yellow-orange flowers and as an important plant resource in Ayurveda, particularly because its various parts have therapeutic properties underlying natural remedies and formulations mentioned in several Ayurvedic texts.
“Genetic inheritance” is not a new discovery, as it might appear when considered only in light of recent scientific history and modern science.
Saunaka observes that, considered separately, the six fundamental constituent factors of living beings—the five universal manifestations known as essential elements (tattva), projected into the material world as the elements (bhuta): earth (prithivi-bhuta), water (apas-bhuta), fire (tejas-bhuta), air (vayu-bhuta), and ether (akasha-bhuta), together with a sixth factor, the conscious principle (cetana)—cannot on their own determine or explain the complex emergence of a living being.
“What can contribute decisively to identifying how this emergence takes place is none other than the so-called hereditary factor (uttaradhikara). In other words, heredity is responsible for the occurrence of disorders, conditions, and diseases, such as metabolic disorders of the diabetes type (meha) in some human beings.” A simple example is a metabolic disorder present in both parents—or perhaps only one parent—that may also appear to a greater or lesser extent in their child or children. (itrya mehadhaya choktha roga tavatra karana).
The sphere of consciousness of each Ayurvedic sage may be approached through deep, evocative meditation focused on that sage's distinctive qualities. Meditative identification with the sphere of consciousness of a great deity or Ayurvedic sage may reveal essential aspects that serve as subtle keys to higher forms of resonant affinity with the consciousness of that being.
Sustaining a heightened state of selective attention on the characteristic aspects of such an exceptional being for a period of time can help establish inner points of reference in the practitioner's consciousness. These may then become subtle keys to entering into and maintaining a state of spiritual, telepathic communion with the consciousness of that higher being.
