The ancient Indian Veda says - yatha
pinde tatha brahmande - which means "as is the man and so is the
universe". Both Man and Universe are made up of the same five elements
- space, air, fire, water and earth. Thus, as is the space inside us,
so is space in the universe. (Radio-isotopic studies in U.S.A. reveal
that 99.99% of us is emptiness); as is the air element in the human
body, so is it in the universe; as is fire in the form of metabolic
heat in our system, so is fire in the form of sun and stars outside.
So on and so forth.
At a very micro-level (quantum level),
human beings are nothing but information and energy and so is the
universe. Human beings are in constant exchange of information and
energy with the universe.
But of the total information (100%), we
receive 83% from the eyes, 11% from the ears, 3½% through the nose, 1%
from the skin and 1½ % by the tongue.
