Swami Nityamuktananda explained the basic concept of Samkhya philosophy, which is shared by indigenous cultures all over the globe. Everything in the universe is one energy, which manifests in innumerable forms, from subtle to gross, on the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical level. The entire universe consists of the five elements earth, water, fire, air, and space. With our senses we can perceive these five energy fields. The speaker made clear that each human being is made up of a unique mixture of the five elements, out of which one element is predominant in forming our character and individual mind. Each element has different qualities (for example: earth – solidity; water – fluidity; fire – transformation power, etc.) and the different mixtures of energies in our constitutions determine our different reactions to pain. Attachment to memories and feelings keeps our emotions alive, even after the energetic and chemical response has been dealt with. The speaker explained how the different constitutions influence our different reactions on pain and has as effect that there are five different kinds of emotional pain. Cultivating self-awareness (‘know yourself’) helps to bring about a state of balance between the energies. We can heal our own, and others’ emotional pain by supporting the weak energies and controlling the strong energies. Self-knowledge and knowledge of the cosmic laws are needed to undertake this process.
