According to ancient Vedic texts the one “absolute truth” divides into two natures – non-manifest energy (purusha) and manifested nature (prakritti).
Life is believed to form through the interaction of these two principles via the medium of “universal breath” (prana).
The principles equate with the Chinese model of yang (energy), yin (matter) and the role of qi.
The three theoretical states of creation, confluence and destruction are supported by the primal prana and provide a triadic structure which is basic to Indian philosophy and medicine.
Vedanta, the philosophical foundation of Ayurveda, presents the triadic nature of manifest existence by the symbol AUM that predate most of the recorded Sanskrit texts.
