The importance of understanding them as ‘vyadhis’ is to grasp the ‘unsaid factor’ i.e. if you happen to neglect them, they’d form up into illnesses.

The takeaway message is –
– eat meals if you really feel hungry,

We have to know and remember that ‘time is every part’ and preserve excellent timing for every part we do in our life. For those who miss the timing, the timing will miss you.
