Ojas
Vigor, strength and vitality that is the essence of all tissues (dhatus).
It means the life sap or the essence of immune system and spiritual
energy. Ojas is a protoplasmic substance called the albumin and globulin
that is formed during the biosynthesis of bodily tissues and strengthens
the tissues.
As ghee is the pure essence of milk, in the same way this protoplasmic
biological substance is the pure essence of biological tissue. In
the churning process to make ghee, agni is created, electricity is
created, which ionizes and separates the molecules of butter from
buttermilk. In the same way, the end product of digested food plus
agni(fire or warmth, body heat) creates the nutritional precursor
called ahar rasa. Rasa dhatu agni transfers the immature ahar rasa
into mature sthay rasa. Asthayi means mobile, unstable, unprocessed,
and immature. Sthay means stable, permanent, and mature. In that transformation,
dhatu waste products, dhatu by products and ojas is created. |
