bhumir apo ‘nalo vayuh kham mano buddhir eva ca
ahankara itiyam me bhinna prakrtir astadha (BG 7.4)
Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego—altogether these eight comprise My separated material energies.
The ingredients of the material manifestation are separated energies of the Lord. There are eight manifestations in this material world. First five among them i.e. earth, water, fire, air and sky are the Pancha Bhootas or the five gigiantic creations.
The Lord is thus Bhutadih, the source of the five elements- the Pancha Bhootas which makes up this material world. The five sense organs are encompassed in these pancha Bhootas.
Lets chant the Holt Name and pray to the Lord to ensure the five material elements and the five sense organs are always in His service.
