Every living thing on the Earth is the combination of the five basic elements, and they are Water, Earth, Air, Fire, and Space. These five elements often called as ‘Pancha Mahabhutas’. Each of the Pancha Mahabhutas has specific meaning. For example, if any item is classified as "water”, It means it has the quality of liquid and cool.
Similarly, when any item described as "Earth" it means heavy or solid. Same Way “Air” It means it has the quality of weightlessness; “Fire” has the quality hot and dry; “Space” has the quality of light, subtle, and abundant.
These terms are used not only in science, but in Ayurveda also. The Pancha Mahabhutas theory may sound simple, but it is actually a very classic method of classifying not only all of the objects found on Earth, but also the natural cycles experienced by it like days, seasons and life itself. This is because the elements dominate at particular times, depending on the conditions experienced and observed.
For example, the human life cycle is divided into three phases: Childhood, Adulthood and Old Age.
Childhood is correlated with Water and Earth as growth takes place during this time. Adulthood is correlated with fire where activity and changes occur. Old age is correlated with windy and cool (air and space).
During human life, the five elements have the certain impact on the mind and body. A person sustained the combination of elements already present in the body through breathing air and consuming food and liquids, taking in those elements found in the surrounding natural world.
