You and the 5 Elements on Wellness Wednesday
It’s not just your body is a play of five elements.
So is the world, so is the Universe.
Everything is a play of five elements.
The Five Basic Elements are Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood.
These elements are understood as different types of energy in a state of constant interaction and flux with one another.
The Five Elements mean: Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood.
They are always in flux: Movement, Change, and Development. They are changing, moving, waning, and expanding all the time.

Just shake you and see, you’re just a water-bottle,three-fourth full, you know. You need to understand it is in sync with the planet; approximately seventy-two percent of the planet is water. Do you know this?
cleansing the elementsor if you cannot cleanse,if you’re such a hopeless case,transcending the elements.Vibhuthi – that’s why,beyond the elements.If you cleanse the elementsyou’ll live a wonderful life.If you are beyond that,the best thing is to transcend,forget about living a beautiful lifejust transcend the lifebecause living a beautiful life is a more complex situationthan transcending.Transcending means you’re beyond it.What’s beyond is not bothered by so many complexities of the physicality.But if you want to be in the physical and still above thatthen it takes little more mastery over the physical.If you have no mastery over the physicalyou will get enslaved to the physical.So bootha suddhi essentially meansyou want to first cleanse itso that slowly you come to a statewhich we call as bootha siddhithat means you have mastery over the elements.Everybody has some kind of capability with the elementsotherwise you wouldn’t even live a normal life.Right now how well organized the five elements are in your systemdecides how firm and stable and organically strong this body is.It’s just – body is a play of five elements,so is the world,so is the universe.Everything is a play of five elements.In these fiveunless you want to explore mystical dimensionsyou don’t have to bother about the space.So there’re only four.Among the fourseventytwo percent of your body is just water.Just shake and see,you’re just a water-bottle,three-fourth full, you know.You need to understandit is in sync with the planet;approximately seventy-two percent of the planet is water.Do you know this?Yes,that is how life is evolved.Whichever way the nature of the planetis manifested in your body many many different ways.So about two-thirds of the planet is water,two-thirds of the body is water.So when you eat food,you must always eat foodwhere the water content in the food is over seventy percent.This one thing the western societies are ignoringand paying a huge price.Now everywhere it’s becoming like that,if you eat any vegetable it will be over seventy percent water.If you eat a fruit it’ll over ninety percent water.If you want cleansing to happen you must eat fruit.If you just want to maintain the body as it is,vegetable does this.Almost any Asian cooking usually has over seventy percent water naturally.That’s how traditions created it;they were aware of it.It’s only western diets which are dry.You drink water,it doesn’t work like that.The food should have over seventy percent water content.So seventy-two percent is water.Another twelve percent is earth,you know only twelve percent of your body is actually earth,largely it is water. So it’s eighty-four percent.Another six percent is air;air is the easiest thing to manage and take charge ofbecause there is breathand you can take charge of it in a certain way.Another four percent is fire.Taking mastery over fire could do many things to youbut because you are house-holders living in family situation,you don’t have to take charge of fire.You can keep it as it is;sometimes you can burn somebody a bit.You need it right? You’re marriedOnce in a way if you don’t burn them a bit,it may not work.Yes or no?The remaining six percent is space;you don’t have to bother about thatunless you want to explore mystical dimensions of the existence.To live well four elements is enough,fifth one is not relevant for people who just want to live well.Taking charge of this,there’s a whole system of practices –some are direct,others are round about.Bootha Suddhi can be practiced in a most simplistic wayor in an highly sophisticated way.Taking charge of the elements is in many ways.One thing is how you consume these …elements,how you treat these elements –the whole system of ancient cultureswere about treating the four elements right.The four elements are the basis of your creation.If you have some,even a minor mastery over it,you will start living in ways that other people thinkit’s magical.Nothing magical becauseright now you drink water;see how it is, does it look like you?Does it look like you? Hmm?Does it look like you?Is it resemble like any of you?But if you drink this it becomes you, isn’t it?Isn’t this magical?This itself …life itself is magical.There’s nothing in life which is not magical, isn’t it?Just your some disease got cured,that is not the miracle.Look at this, this becomes youthis is a phenomenal miracle, isn’t it?Once you’re capable of performing this miracle,you should be capable of many other minor things –fixing an ailment or do on the,you know damage…you damaged something, fixing it all these things would be possible becauseyou are creating the whole body from inside, isn’t it?Using the four elements you are creating a whole body;unfortunately it’s happening unconsciously that’s all.So bringing consciousness tohow these four elements are becoming human body –when I say human bodyfrom this water you’re manufacturing a highly sophisticated mechanism, isn’t it?Yes or no?What this amounts to is,if I just pour this water on the floorit became I-pad;what would you call that?Suppose this glass of water I poured it downand there this water became I-pad,what you call that?Miracle, isn’t it?The same thing I drink this, this becomes I.This is not a miracle?I wasin the same trip and I came to de Gaulle airportand there was a grumpy looking security man.Hhe asked, ‘Any fluids?’I said like this.He got irritated;he looked at me like thisthen he put my bag there, ‘computer!’I said like this.He burst out laughing.We’re too impressed with what’s happening around us,what’s happening within us is too big, isn’t it?Yes?All computers are a small manifestation of this, isn’t it?We are enamored with thatbut not enamored with this.That is our problem.So looking inward itself is bootha suddhi.If that’s not possible for youthere are simple processes.There are practices,there are rituals,there are elaborate systems as to how to take charge of elementsor if you don’t know how to do it;somebody can perform something from which everybody can benefit.There are bootha suddhi rituals,for example every monththere is Pancha Bootha Aradhana happening in the Dhyanalinga.You don’t know how to do it;somebody else will do it.You just sit there in the presence and benefit from that.
