1. The gross body made up of the five gross elements ( earth , water , fire , air and ether ) is meant to reap the fruits of past actions in the shape of pleasure and pain .
2. The gross body , the medium through which the Soul experiences pleasure and pain , is determined by past action and formed out of the five great subtle elements , which become gross when one half portion of one subtle element becomes united with one eighth of each of the other four .
3. Determined for each individual by his own past actions and made up of the Five elements — that have gone through the process of “ five-fold self-division and mutual combination ” ( Pancheekarana ) — are born the gross-body , the medium through which pleasure and pain are experienced , the tent-of-experiences .
