<div style="text-align:justify;">

''Ayu'' (life) implies the conjunction of physical body, senses, mind and soul. It is known by the synonyms ''dhari'' (that which sustains), ''jivita'' (that which is live), ''nityaga'' (that which is in continuum), and ''anubandha'' (that which is interdependent, or a link between past life and the future life).[[Deerghanjiviteeya Adhyaya#Definition of Ayu (life) and its synonyms|[Cha.Sa. Sutra Sthana 1/42]]]

Thus life (Ayu) is continuity(''anuvritti'') of consciousness (''chetana''), liveliness (''jeevita''), bonding with the body (''anubandha'') and preserving vitality(''dhari'').[[Arthedashmahamooliya Adhyaya#The meaning of Ayu|[Cha.Sa. Sutra Sthana 30/22] ]].

Ayurveda is the source of knowledge that teaches about or deals with Ayu. Through its virtues, it imparts the knowledge of joy and suffering, benefit and harm, and authentic/authoritative and unauthentic/unreliable (sources of information). It also informs about the lifespan and substances with properties and actions that result in the same. This is dealt with in the entire text of [[Charak Samhita]] at various appropriate contexts.[[Arthedashmahamooliya Adhyaya#Scope of Ayurveda|[Cha.Sa. Sutra Sthana 30/23] ]]

Thus, Ayurveda deals with good, bad, bliss and sorrow in life, and with (what is) wholesome and unwholesome for it, longevity, and about what Ayu (life) is in itself.[[Deerghanjiviteeya Adhyaya#Definition of Ayurveda|[Cha.Sa. Sutra Sthana 1/41] ]]

Ayurveda is eternal because It has no beginning and its characteristics are self-evident., Ayu (the combination of body, its organs, mind, and soul) and intelligence about Ayu (knowledge about Ayu) are perpetual. The knower becomes eternal after knowing Ayurveda. Concepts such as happiness and suffering (i.e., health and illness), therapeutics and pathogens, etc. - their causes, signs, and perpetuation are all eternal. [[Arthedashmahamooliya Adhyaya#Eternal qualities of Ayurveda|[Cha.Sa. Sutra Sthana 30/27] ]] The principles described in Ayurveda texts are universal, time tested and stand true on scientific validation. For example, the theory of similar and dis-similar (Samanya Vishesha siddhanta) is applicable universally which is of immense importance.<ref> Pandey Deep Narayan , Pandey Neha Prakash. Universal significance of the principle of Samanya and Vishesha beyond Ayurveda.Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine.2018;9(4),308-311. available online from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0975947617305727 </ref>
