Significance of Caution
Caution is interpreted differently in Theravada and Science. In Theravada, it involves careful translation of emotionally charged words. In contrast, Science emphasizes the importance of caution through warnings about certain asanas, advisories on the toxic nature of Calotropis, careful handling of Visha Varga treatments, and precautions for the kunjara technique, highlighting the necessity of guidance and a suitable environment for safe practice. This multi-faceted understanding of caution underscores its significance in various contexts.
