“Ether is without the firmness of earth, the coolness of water, the heat of fire or even the movement of wind. It is therefore the very essence of ’emptiness’. The space element is the most subtle of all elements”
The Ayurvedic science of medicine and philosophy of life, is based upon the five primordial elements, considered as basic principles guiding the understanding of existence on a micro and macrocosmic level.
These principles, described by water, fire, earth, air and ether are also studied as major principles of medicine, whereof one’s health depends upon the balance of the elements.
Ether, ‘akasha’ in Sanskrit is the most subtle of the series of elements, the space in which all of them reside.
Ether is described as emptiness and ‘shabda’, sound in its original unmanifested form. Thus ether is the space from which vibrations are created.
The mind is viewed as filled with ether, and in this perspective, thoughts are emerging from this substance and creating vibrations in it, similar to the way a boat creates waves in the lake.
A still mind, like that of a monk in meditation, would be the expression of the essence of ether.
We can get a clearer image of ether if we look at its characteristics:
Being the essence of sound, ether’s corresponding body part is the ear. Therefore, the difficulty in hearing, or speaking, is reflecting a vitiation of the element of ether within one’s being.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, the imbalance of ether can manifest in a series of conditions in the physical body:
How to balance ether:
When men discovered fire, the entire human kind stepped into a new evolutionary stage, such a huge shift that it transformed social life altogether. Fire marked the passing from the tribal hunter-gatherer lifestyle to the more refined blueprint of the agrarian society.
A whole new set of tools made existence a lot easier, but more than this it established man as the most evolved among all beings living on this planet. The humans became the master of the domain, the king that all animals feared for having the fire as equivalent with having the powers of a god.
