Elements - Gunas - Activites and Impact


Earth is heavy and has smell
Water is cool and has taste
Fire is hot and it shows (helps to see)
Air is formless and it feels (makes us to feel the touch)
Space is permanent and it hears (helps to hear)


So the senses are satisfied with sound, touch, see, taste and smell outwardly through sex.
But their permanent, formlessness, heat, cool and heaviness help us to be satisfied inwardly through pranayama and meditation.This only can take us to mukthi.

Thamasic activities which take us down are -
Earth - Meat eating
Water - Alcohol
Fire - Watching prono movies
Air - High sexual activities
Space - High beat music

Rajasic activities which keep us in danger zone are -
Earth - Spicy eating
Water - Beverages (aerated)
Fire - Watching movies, TV, mobile and internet (too much)
Air - mild sexual activities
Space - hearing film music

Sathvic activities which can take us up are -
Earth - Eating fresh vegetarian food
Water - Drink lot of water and juices
Fire - Focus on nature (sight seeing)
Air - Doing pranayama and kriya
Space - Doing meditation

Deeper sathvic activities -
Earth - sitting in one place
Water - Drinking only water
Fire - Closing the eyes and seeing inside
Air - Observing the breath
Space - Hearing the silence

These will take us towards peaceful samadhi state. Jaigurudev!
