How does understanding the elements help a spiritual pursuant?

Understanding the creation of the elements will always be challenging because we were not there.

But understanding their destruction is relatively easy to grasp as we already see the elements before us and know how they work.

Fire can destroy the water and earth.

Fire can melt the earth into liquid lava and water into gases.

That’s why fire ( energy ) is higher than water and earth ( matter ).

But the air is superior to fire because, without oxygen, fire cannot exist.

But the highest element of all is the Aakash, space, and nothingness, which allows the dance of the Sansar to happen within itself.

( I am in everything, and everything is in me – Krishna ).

All activities of Sansar take place in this vast, enigmatic conscious field of space.

( Now, scientists are going towards a belief that maybe the universe is conscious. )

Aakash tatva is not just an infinite nothingness; it is conscious also.

It is existence itself.

In its existence plays out the drama of Sansar.

One who gets lost in this drama never realizes this truth.

Only through meditation can one wake up to this unique, pure entity – which exists itself ( Sat ) and is conscious also (Chitta) – the Soul.

In this state, at that point, one realizes the meaninglessness of this Sansar and transcends into Buddhatva.

Without this awakening, one remains lost in Sansar forever.
