Patanjali Yoga Sutra III – 45


Conquest of nature


Sthoolaswaroopasukshmanvayarthathwa Samyamad Bhuta Jayaha||

By constantly meditating on the gross body made of five elements – earth, water, fire, air and space and their subtle powers of smell, taste, vision, touch and sound and on the essential nature of all beings which transcends these elements and on how each of them interpenetrates the other – one gains mastery over the five elements. – SS
