  9. Gurdev, are all the five elements equal, or is the space element superior to the other elements?

    Yes, among the five elements, the space element is a little different. Space is just a witness – like the soul. All other four elements exist within the space element. There is no Earth, Water, Air or Fire without Space. The basis of these four ele ...
  10. How can being with nature, which is outside, take us to our nature, which is inside? Can you please elaborate on the connection between nature and spirituality?
