The Five Great
Elements
:: |
| |
| Ayurveda believes that everything in this universe is made
up of five great elements or building blocks. These are
earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Earth
represents the solid state of matter. It manifests
stability, permanence, and rigidity. In our body, the parts
such as bones, teeth, cells, and tissues are manifestations
of the earth. Earth is considered a stable substance.
Water characterizes change and represents the liquid
state. Water is necessary for the survival of all living
things. A large part of the human body is made up of water.
Our blood, lymph, and other fluids move between our cells
and through our vessels, bringing energy, carrying away
wastes, regulating temperature, bringing disease fighters,
and carrying hormonal information from one area to another.
Water is a substance without stability. |

Fire is the power to transform solids into liquids, to
gas, and back again. In other words, it possess power to
transform the state of any substance. Within our bodies, the
fire or energy binds the atoms together. It also converts
food to fat (stored energy) and muscle. Fire transforms food
into energy. It creates the impulses of nervous reactions,
our feelings, and even our thought processes. Fire is
considered a form without substance.
Air is the gaseous form of matter which is mobile and
dynamic. Within the body, air (oxygen) is the basis for all
energy transfer reactions. It is a key element required for
fire to burn. Air is existence without form.
Ether
is the space in which everything happens. It is the field
that is simultaneously the source of all matter and the
space in which it exists. Ether is only the distances which
separate matter. The chief characteristic of ether is sound.
Here sound represents the entire spectrum of vibration.
Every substance in our world is made up of these five
substances. All substances can be classified according to
their predominant element. For example, a mountain is
predominantly made up of earth element. A mountain also
contain water, fire, air and ether. But these elements are
very small compared to the earth. So, its classification is
the earth.
Ayurveda defines a human as the assemblage of the five great
elements plus the "immaterial self."
