Air, earth, ether, and fire are considered dry because they cannot be moist without water. Think of cloudy skies or muddy puddles. Water and air mix to create clouds. Water and earth mix to create puddles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ba6c0f9f3ae10eb7ede9f4/ab2f61d6-15f8-4c2e-a31f-51f237451681/Elements+Charts8.jpg ayurveda - Elements of Ayurveda - Make it stand out The flowing scale isn’t simply the reverse of the density scale. Just because ether is least dense doesn’t mean it’s most flowing. Fire and water are considered most flowing because their density is enough to actually flow. Air and ether have some flow, but it’s not a defining attribute because their density is so low. Earth has little to no flow. It has to mix with other elements like fire (as with lava) or water (as with mud) to flow at all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ba6c0f9f3ae10eb7ede9f4/0f7fdda8-8fd9-4a9c-a877-0322233b00a0/Elements+Charts.jpg ayurveda - Elements of Ayurveda - Make it stand out It’s no surprise that fire is hot. Air, earth, ether, and water are considered cold because they cannot be hot without fire. For example, dry heat saunas, molten lava flows, and boiling tea kettles all need some form of fire to get them hot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ba6c0f9f3ae10eb7ede9f4/c191054e-a408-465a-b7d1-5a49a7804129/Elements+Charts5.jpg ayurveda - Elements of Ayurveda - Make it stand out Earth and water are cloudy and dull. Air, ether, and fire are clear and sharp. This is not as simple as a dull or sharp knife. This is more like a dull or sharp mind—the former is a bit hazy and the latter is quite lucid. In this context, it’s easier to understand why dull elements are also cloudy and sharp elements are also clear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ba6c0f9f3ae10eb7ede9f4/81f679fb-1899-470f-94a2-39cb67733ac9/Elements+Charts6.jpg ayurveda - Elements of Ayurveda - Make it stand out It helps to think of the attribute pair of static or mobile as a trio instead: stable, unstable, or mobile. Air is the essence of mobility. Earth, water, ether, and fire are considered static because they cannot be mobile without air. However, ether and fire are more susceptible to air’s mobility so they are considered unstable, while earth and water are less susceptible to air’s mobility so they are considered stable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ba6c0f9f3ae10eb7ede9f4/a4db8773-092f-48dc-8f6d-bf19e8a4dd76/Elements+Charts3.jpg ayurveda - Elements of Ayurveda - Make it stand out Soft and smooth are also attributes of water. Rain softens hard soil in an instant and rivers smooth rough rocks over time. Air, earth, and fire do not soften or smooth without the help of water. On their own, they make things hard and rough. Ether, the space element, can’t be touched, so it doesn’t qualify as any of these attributes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ba6c0f9f3ae10eb7ede9f4/a921fb35-a5d0-4181-9b15-fc07da0a86e5/Elements+Charts4.jpg ayurveda - Elements of Ayurveda - Make it stand out Air, ether, and fire are light and subtle, while earth and water are heavy and gross. This is not gross as in, “Eww.” This is gross as in substantial or tangible. Earth and water have substance and weight. Subtle is the opposite of gross, so it means insubstantial or intangible. Air, ether, and fire lack substance and weight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ba6c0f9f3ae10eb7ede9f4/9a6b9c10-42a2-4b33-9aa4-4de6ad115fc7/Elements+Charts7.jpg ayurveda - Elements of Ayurveda - Make it stand out The attribute pair of dense or flowing are not exactly opposites. In my opinion, they combine differences between heavy and light, gross and subtle, and static and mobile in one comparison. Earth is the most dense element while ether is the least dense. Makes sense. Water is less dense than earth, but more dense than fire. Fire is less dense than water, but more dense than air. Air is less dense than fire, but more dense than ether. Still makes sense.
