Desire
makes one crave for sabdha (sounds),
sparsha (touch), rupa (form),
rasa (taste), gandha (smell) - the
qualities of the five Elements that constitute the body.
One is prompted by the element of Space present within to
seek sweet sounds that satisfy the ear; by the element of
Air within, to run after smooth and soft things that yield
pleasure to the skin, by the element of Fire to pursue
things that are beautiful and appealing to the eye; the
Water element makes one crave for food and drink that are
tasty to the tongue, and the element of Earth urges one to
cater to the nose, by trying to enjoy pleasant smells. Just
as the high temperatures from the Sun is controlled,
modulated and reduced by the systems in your body to a
congenial temperature of 98.4 degrees, you must keep the
forces of your elemental passions in check and bring it
down to tolerable levels, for congenial living.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
