The five elements directly affect the five senses. If we are not pure, the five elements will lose their purity. Therefore, each one of us is responsible to bring harmony to the five elements.
Swami underlined this. Here it tells how man’s discrimination is limited by his own destiny. The mind and senses rule the Atma. Man lives according to the dictates of the mind and senses; there is no place for Atma. He does not know of Atma. He only does whatever the mind and senses like. He does this only. This habit comes birth after birth. His discrimination works also according to his destiny. He himself makes a law, enthrones the Atma on it and acts according to this.
