All that biological substance, plasma, the serum, is water.

And without water, cell cannot survive.

Water is a universal chemical solvent.

It is there.

Then come earth.

Earth is a solid ground like calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper.

So all these five elements are present in our body.

So this is a structural aspect of the body.

But biological combination of ether, air, fire, water, earth split into three doshas.

Ether and air create vata.

Vata is a principle of movement.

Fire and water become pitta.

Pitta is the biochemical activities.

And kapha is earth and water, the building block material.

So all these vata, pitta, kapha, they are present in every RNA, DNA as our genetic code, as our blueprint.

And we carry that blueprint in our body.

So these three doshas, they were governing this biological structure of the body and psychosomatic expression of the body.

These are called three doshas.

And every individual has a unique expression of consciousness.

In the true sense of the word, individual is indivisible.
