There are four components of Creation-Cosmos-Prvanjam. These four components are independent of each other, yet pervade the others. The four components are Time, Space, Matter and Energy. Each is a constant but infinite. All the four put together constitute the Paramatman.
Energy is Shakthi denoted in Vedas by Godess.
Matter is made up of five elements. Air, Water, Fire, earth and ether, the panchboothas.
Body is made up of matter consisting of the above five elements. These five elements are in constant interplay with each other. These elements of matter are subject to a fixed lifespan. i.e., they are born, spend a life span and then die out.
Knowledge is something like nerve impulses which is in touch with all the components. Therefore it is there available readily in the cosmos. Intellect is the antenna to receive the signals of knowledge. The capacity of each human being to receive the quantum of the signals vary.
Intellect and Mind are also subtle elements attached to each body. Each body has an atman which is very subtle. Unlike all the others, this atman is eternal. This Atman is sheathed in the body. In reality it is this Atman which propels the body and is responsible for life, movement, thoughts and everything, but these get expressed through the mind. The mind itself is made up of ego and emotions. It is like a membrane, a filter which is Maya. Therefore, when thoughts pass through the mind it tends to get distorted. It is because of this, Vedas say that we must control the mind and make it subservient to the Atman. But we allow our mind to rule and therefore is responsible for all the difficulties and unhappiness we experience. Subjugate the mind to Atman. When this is done the barrier called Maya will break and then, one can experience the bliss.
Space is an expty phenomenon which fills the gaps all over. In order to transcent matter one must travel in space. But there are special conditions which need to be cultivated to travel in space.
Time is a completely independent entity.
