From the Paper:

"The pros of ayurveda are vast in their benefit to the individual and to the macrocosm surrounding the individual. Ayurvedic principles could be the solution toward world peace. Anger, tension and stress are all symptoms of a body, mind, spirit that is out of balance. Individuals may find less vehemence and more tranquility if they simply made an effort to define their own destiny through an inside out approach. Most men of transgression seek success through very external avenues. Where the ayurvedic brings success in the loss of an imbalance the depraved westerner finds joy in taking the belongings of another. The ultimate benefit of Ayurveda is not general good health it is a genuine sense of happiness."
