EN: Health in Ayurveda is not luck — it is Samya, the dynamic balance of three doshas. Like three musicians in an orchestra, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha must play in harmony; Vikriti is the discord teachers learn to recognise, not diagnose alone.
HI: आयुर्वेद में स्वास्थ्य = साम्य — तीन दोषों का संतुलन। वात, पित्त, कफ सामंजस्य में; विकृति असंतुलन — इसे पहचानना सीखें, स्वयं निदान नहीं।
