Embodiments of Divine Love!
As long as a dream lasts, all that is experienced, heard, or seen in it appears as real. Likewise, in worldly existence, filled with likes and dislikes, everything seems real till the dawn of wisdom (Jnana). When one attains the state of Supreme Realization, all that happens in the world appears as a dream.
The human body is composed of the five basic elements--earth, water, fire, air, and space. These five are compounded together in an orderly way. The human body is described as the physical body. It establishes all types of relations with the world. This may be described as the bonding together of the five components. In the body, in its waking state, all the sense organs are active.
