Due to a particular formulation of five
elements of Nature (Pancha Bhootas) which
are Earth, Fire, Sky, Water and Air, the human
body is made. This is called Sthoola Sareera
(gross body) the medium through which the
Atma experiences and pleasure and pain. This
is given by Paramatma on the basis of Karma
done by it in its previous births.
The process of such formulation of the
five elements is called Panchikarana where
one half of each of the five elements mixes
with one of the other four.
Modern science concepts are worked
in a different way but basically it is the nature's
five elements that make human body. Science
says it is made up of cells. A cell is made of
organic matter which is called by our ancient
Jnanis as earth.
Science agrees that Air and Water are
there in the body. The Sky is actually anything
empty. There is a lot of empty space in our
body which is Sky. There is fire in in our body
though we cannot see it. Modern Science calls
it acidic reactions which are vital for digestion.
So the conclusion that human body is
made up of just organic matter is only half the
story. Jnanis consider that the main part of the
formation of the human body has to do with
sanchita karma i.e., the vast store of past actions
the fruits of which have not been reaped.
