Why are the five elements important in the universe?

As we know, the entire universe is made of five elements, i.e. ether (space), air (wind), fire, water, and earth.

Out of these, some can be seen, but some can't be seen. Therefore, as per science, every universal object exists in three forms, i.e. solid, liquid and gas. Hence, the concept of the five elements is mystic in itself.

All these five elements have their own frequency, wavelength, and attributes, which are different from one another.

Importance of Five Basic Elements in the Universe

All these play important roles for the smooth functioning of various universal activities which are essential for the formation, growth and destruction of non-living and living beings that exist in this universe.

Let's see them one by one.

Space Element :

 It exists in all kinds of living & non-living beings. There is 6% space elements in the human body. In the human body, the existence of space elements can be experienced in both ways, physically as well as spiritually.

Spiritually, it is explained in different ways. A space element is nothing but a space, which is the mother of all other elements. We can experience this element in our body in the form of space found in the gullet, stomach, blood vessels, breathing pipe, lungs, etc.

Space is the biggest, endless element in all. Space gave birth to the Air elements. After that, both Air and Space gave birth to Fire elements. Next to this, Fire, Space and Air gave birth to the Water elements. At last, all these four elements gave birth to the Earth elements.

Space elements give birth to all elements, but don't destroy any elements. In the same way, no other elements can destroy space elements.

Human beings use Earth, Fire, Air and Water elements to create something new as per requirement in their life. But he can't use the Space elements to create anything new.

Space elements make space available to all living and non-living beings to move or work freely in any direction. It allows them the freedom of movement and to make changes in their size as required.

Space can't be seen, touched, smelled or tasted. It can be sensed only one way, i.e. hearing sound which is made of waves of vibrations. No other elements can be heard like the space element. Hence, the existence of space elements can also be confirmed by the existence of sound.

Scientifically, the existence of this element can be sensed by the smooth movement of any object without any kind of interruption.

But spiritually, the existence of the Space element can be experienced differently in different kinds of places. In a temple, mosque or church, we feel relaxation from all kinds of stress. In the hospital, we feel stressed. In the police station, we feel like we are in the world of criminals. In a school, we feel like we are learning something or teaching someone.

Why is it so? Due to the non-stop flow of specific kinds of vibration or waves from those specific kinds of thoughts of people spread in the space elements of the specific kinds of place, all this happens.

An empty area around the Earth combined with the air element is scientifically called an atmosphere, which is also well-known as the sky, which is seen as blue in colour. But an empty, endless area beyond the sky without an air element is called a space element, which is dark black in colour. The universe is made of such space elements, which are a vacuum.

As per science, this element is just like a widespread indefinite container in which so many celestial objects like stars, planets, galaxies, meteors, asteroids, etc., move in their orbits.
Despite space being home to various celestial objects, there is little presence of air elements. Therefore, there is no pressure or any kind of atmosphere, unlike Earth.

The atmosphere of the Earth is made of space & air elements. The air elements boost the propagation of sound in space. Therefore, sound can be heard properly as well as easily in the atmosphere of Earth through the medium of existing air.

Humans or animals express their feelings in their vocal language. Every language is made of words. These words are basically a specific form of sound which travels invisibly from one place to another through the medium of air elements.

Therefore, on earth, these waves of vibrations create a specific environment in specific places, different from the environment of other places. For e.g. specific kinds of vibrations in hospitals are different from vibrations in school, vibrations in religious places are different from vibrations in police stations or courts, etc.

Due to the heavy density of air elements which boost the transmission of vibrations in the Earth's atmosphere, such kinds of vibration can be sensed easily by the sensory organs of living beings. But beyond Earth in the widespread universe, due to the low density of air elements, existing vibrations in space can't be sensed easily by living beings.

By observing all these, it can be said clearly that the existence & importance of this invisible, insensible element can’t be experienced so easily by the sensory organs of living beings.

Hence, as per SureGod, all kinds of invisible and insensible things are directly related to spirituality. Therefore, this space element can only be experienced through meditation.

Five Fundamental Elements that play vital roles in the process of formation, maintenance & destruction of universal objects

Air Element :

Space gave birth to the air elements. The air element has the attribute of continuing to move ahead without changing its direction. It represents movement.

This element is always unstable. It never stays in one place for a long time.

It is more effective and micro than water, earth, and fire elements. It has more potential than these three elements.

It is invisible and moves freely anywhere without any restriction. Nobody can bind this element. Being invisible, it can keep things secret from others.

Air spreads and gives flexible objects a shape of containing objects. Hence, the internal object gets the shape of its containers.

Sometimes air moves rapidly. We call it a disastrous storm. But when it flows slowly, that pleases the mind. It indicates that irregularity is another attribute of air elements.

Due to its moving nature, air always comes in touch with different objects. Hence, it develops connectivity among different objects. Hence, it boosts social connectivity and relationships.

Along with this, it works as a mover, carrying instructions & foods from one body part to another. In the living body, it helps to transmit nerve signals between the brain and different body parts. Also, it helps to keep blood flowing between the heart and different body parts.

The air element is a mixture of different kinds of gases, just like Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, methane, etc. Out of these gases, some gases are flammable, and some gases help the combustion process.

Oxygen, Hydrogen like gases play a vital role in the creation of energy in this universe.

The spirit that exists in every living body is just a form of energy, which is a child of the air element.

To live life, birds and animals need energy, which can be derived from oxygen, and trees obtain the same from carbon dioxide. It means that without air, the existence of living beings is impossible. Therefore, all kinds of living beings live til they breathe in air.

After passing through the prism, one ray of light gets converted into seven different colours. In the same way, while passing through the moving living body, air elements also get converted into five different energies, i.e. Pran, Apan, Saman, Udan, Vyan.

Psychologically, the mind of living beings is made of air elements. Both are the same in terms of attributes.

The air element in the human body is about 6% & it can be sensed in only one way, i.e. touch. Air can't be seen, smelled or tasted.

Hot air on sunny days becomes lightweight & has the capacity to absorb more water. Against this, the cold air on rainy days becomes heavy and has less capacity to absorb water.

The air element that exists on earth scatters the light everywhere; we can see light everywhere on earth. But in the absence of an air element, sunlight can’t travel in space. Therefore, there is 99% darkness and only 1% light in the universe.

Fire Element : 

Generally, we experience many difficulties in our routine life without the heat produced by fire. We can't cook a little bit. We can't make scientific experiments in the lab either.

On this basis, it is proven that heat transforms the physical appearance as well as the in-built attributes of every kind of material object.

Flames of fire are visible natural forms of fire elements. It is a kind of process where combustion of fuel or other material is ignited with the help of an oxidising agent (usually oxygen), which produces light & heat in the form of flame or fire.

It makes the environment clean & pure by burning visible objects as well as invisible microorganisms.

It can only be sensed in two ways, i.e. touch & see. Fire can't be smelled or tasted. Flames of fire always grow upward. Temperature increases. It means these elements represent growth.

It is well-known as a source of light & energy. It also performs the task of digestion & metabolism in the living body. It carries on the destruction of various substances that exist in the universe and purifies the environment.

All kinds of moving living beings like birds & animals use direct sunlight as well as fruits, vegetables, grains and seeds to obtain this element.

This element makes the living body energetic. Warm body temperatures indicate its existence in the living body. Body temperature & various kinds of energy represent fire elements. Without this element, life on planet Earth can not be expected.

There is 4% fire in the bodies of these living beings in the form of pitta dosha, which helps to digest food for nourishing the physical body.

It also boosts metabolism in the cells of organs of the body to obtain chemical energy from foods & convert it into kinetic energy or electrical energy for getting specific tasks done by specific organ i.e. breathing, blood flowing, heart beating, etc.

Heat is the ultimate form of energy. Every celestial object, including the physical body of living beings, that has a temperature more than zero (0), radiates heat.

Fire element is the only source of all kinds of energy, just like thermal energy, kinetic energy, chemical energy, static energy, electrical energy, mechanical energy, sound energy, and radiant energy, which exist in this universe.

All these energies are combinedly termed as a cosmic energy which manages the formation, growth & destruction of non-living objects of the entire universe.

All these different energies give different results from different devices. Electrical energy in a mobile works differently from electrical energy in a fan. Electrical energy in a water pump increases the speed of the water flow. But the electrical energy in the bulb produces light.

Water Element :

This element is cool & soft by nature. This is the only convertible element that comes in three forms: solid, liquid, and gas. Its solid form conveys visibility, strength, confirmation, and a sense of weight. Its liquidity form highlights adaptability, softness, and mixing attributes. Its gaseous form stands for invisibility, free movement, and lightweight attributes. This element grants us peace of mind. This element works as a cleanser.

This element has no fixed size or shape. It takes the shape of its container. Liquid forms of water keep flowing. It is basically colourless, but it becomes colourful depending on the different colours. It gets mixed with soluble material easily. It drenches the thirst. It is around 72% in the entire world as well as in the human body.

Water elements can be sensed in three ways, i.e. by touching, tasting & seeing. It doesn't have any kind of smell.

This element works as the most suitable breeding ground among all for different kinds of living beings.

This element represents the emotional life of humans. The emotions of givers of water are also carried on their own tothe receivers of this element invisibly. It binds humans with emotions. Hence, it is responsible for maintaining relationships in human life.

Earth Element :

Earth Elements are solid by nature. It is made of a variety of metals, non-metals, minerals, and crude oil-like matter. The same material we can find in the bodies of living beings also.

Earth elements can be sensed in four ways, i.e. by smelling, touching, tasting, and seeing.

Earth elements contribute approximately 12% in the structure of the physical body. Hence, it gives psychological & physical stability.

These elements can store heat on a large scale during sunny days. This heat maintains air temperatures warmer during cold nights.

Spirituality, it can be said that the earth's elements in the form of fuel, food, and biomass store energy. If the wood or paper-like materials are ignited, energy in the form of heat comes out of them, or nuclear fission and fusion, like nuclear reactions, release energy. It means this element is a solid form of energy.

Based on the attraction of the gravitational force of the Earth, it can be said that the Earth element has attributes of attracting others. This element binds living beings with material life. Humans keep on developing their own property, and animals, birds, like living beings, also build their own nests or caves to live in.

In such a way, this element boosts materialism in the world. It means this element boosts the sense of collection of wealth & property development. Just because of these attributes, it keeps the entire world united in one single entity.

As a conclusion, it can be said that all five elements have their own such distinct attributes that no element can be replaced with any other element. Therefore, no universal activity can take place in the absence of any of these five elements.

Only because of this, all these elements are important.
