Five basic elements

Hare Rama,

Five basic elements 

Life belongs to this planet and is subjected to five basic elements,
Sky air fire water and earth {mud}.
Nine planets in the sky indicate them while reflecting on life.

Sun represents the fire
Moon represents the water
Mars too represents the fire
Mercury represents the earth {mud}
Jupiter represents the sky
Venus too represents the water.
Saturn, Rāhu, and Ketu represent the air, the most vital to carry on with.

 

Yellow color represents the Earth
White color represents the water
Blue color represents the Air
Red color represents the Fire
Color of sky is beyond the limits of colors and hence taken as infinite in self which represents the liberation

In the body skin mass Bones nerves ether spaces and veins are subject of earth
In the body semen, sap urine blood, and liquid in the mouth and other parts are subject of water
In the body hunger, thirst sleep laziness, and dynamic personality are subjects of fire
In body expansion and contraction, moving and running and being part of the limb is the subject of air
In body what makes the spirit to love, feel and express suffering and felt enemy or friendly to another is the subject of sky

In a different parameter, the composition of each element may be visualized as under
Earth 50 units
water 40 units
fire 30 units
air 20 units
Sky 10 units
This composition ever varies even from man to man and specie to specie and never pitch stability for long, change in composition results in a change of personality and body truth spirit bear with

Every Element is equally important for a body at the optimized pitch, but air plays a pivotal role in graduating the elements at their best,

In Yoga, air and sky makes it to the truth

If it takes air it indicates 12 units length while breathing to a healthy man in the normal state which elongate self at 60 units while intercepting sensual truth and even length while in a deep sleep state

But if a man reduces the pitch moderately, reach the light of inner wisdom

With the truth of breath, one may track the auspiciousness at the start of the event and it helps

Air and water both are remarkable purifiers but air purifies both ways and faster than anything, one of the purification processes of water is aeration in science,

Breath-in breath-out is a purification process in auto mode that purifies the body both-ways


Without air, one can not survive even for a few minutes,

Water also has its indicative importance to carry on within next, and then it is the food being represented by mercury in nutshell.

Sky and fire are also equally important in life for varying activities in the sphere of life,

Movement is indicated by fire but truthfulness and meaning of deeds are indicated by the sky, hence a governing factor for life.

If all the elements go at the right pace, life goes all well and if any of them takes a different route then it starts miseries in life.

The position of planets in the zodiac and in the sky affects the basic status of all five majors to influence life on the planet.

Indeed, Moon is one of the prime planets that influence the mind-and at its optimize pitch making life beautiful in both worlds' water plays the part,

Indeed, Sun influences the heart and the truth of the soul, and fire at its optimize pitch makes it all well,

Happiness and contentment through two faces of the same coin, but Mercury helps one to attain harmony in-between through the connectivity truth of earth among five,
