The 5 Elements of Existence Explained | Sadhguru

Sadhguru looks at how the human body and the cosmos itself, is essentially made of 5 elements - space, air, fire, water and earth. He explains that every yogic practice is essentially about Bhuta Shuddhi or cleansing of the elements. He also explains that if we cleanse them enough, we can move into Bhuta Siddhi, or mastery of the elements.

I did  below exercise based in the premise that all things are built by atoms, if atoms lose and gain electron, how would be if same neurons that support anger, depression, hate lose a couple of electron? I am sure it never be the same anymore, it breaks   link to something else. Every moment atoms is losing an gaining electron, why don't we make them,  do it conscious to our benefits;

Everything is going in accordance with nature. Whatever we do is natural too not man-made or artificial, it is just we humans separate us from nature so much that when a bird builds its nest we call it natural while humans build things for our own purpose and we name it artificial.
When everything is going in accordance to nature, why are you bothered so much about bringing a change even though you know one day homo sapiens would evolve completely into something without physical body. How would you change the food system of the whole species, we, homo sapiens have already adjusted to?
Western Culture already has enough spiritual knowledge to realise what humans actually are. Why are you trying to make things like a hotchpotch by mixing cultural knowledge?
Those who know, they already know that the 8 major religions of Sanatana Dharma ( Philosophy of life of Sentient Beings) already says the exact same thing about self realisation.

Show me one human body that has traces of "fire" in it. And what do you mean by space? Is it like a vacuum inside the human body? because otherwise it must have got occupied by air, so is the human body made of essentially 4 elements? Also coming back to fire, fire is not matter. It is energy and is visible to us only during a chemical reaction that we call burning of some object. Objects are actual matter and human body is made of matter. Fire is not matter. Learn some science bro.
