Passage 16

In English

The issues relating to the statements that God is omnipresent and that God is omniscient, will have to be gone into in some detail. In this context, we should know that for human life, support essentially comes from the five senses. These five senses are called , , , , . We have also the five material elements. They are the earth, water, fire, air and sky. We have to enquire and ask where these five elements are and what is it that comes out of the combination of these five elements. We have further to ask how these material elements are connected with , , , , . We have to note that those five sensations, or senses of perception, are present in their totality only in the earth. They are not present as all five in water, or in fire or in the air or in the sky. Because all these five sense perceptions are contained in the earth, that becomes rather heavy and that is the reason why the earth is able to stay as a massive body in one place.
