The human body is made of five basic elements of Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Ether (Space).
God/Akalpurakh/Parmatma lives in every body as what is called ‘Atma’. Guru Granth Sahib guides as under:
ਹਰਿ ਘਟਿ ਘਟੇ ਘਟਿ ਬਸਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਲਿ ਥਲੇ ਹਰਿ ਬਸਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਥਾਨ ਥਾਨੰਤਰਿ ਬਸਤਾ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਦੇਖਨ ਕੋ ਚਾਓੁ ॥ (ਪੰਨਾ 1201)
ਅਰਥ: ਹੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ! ਉਹ ਹਰੀ ਹਰੇਕ ਸਰੀਰ ਵਿਚ ਵੱਸਦਾ ਹੈ, ਜਲ ਵਿਚ ਧਰਤੀ ਵਿਚ ਵੱਸਦਾ ਹੈ, ਹਰੇਕ ਥਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਵੱਸਦਾ ਹੈ, ਮੇਰੇ ਅੰਦਰ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਦਰਸਨ ਦੀ ਤਾਂਘ ਹੈ।
Meaning: The Lord dwells in the home of each and every heart. The Lord dwells in the water, and the Lord dwells on the land. The Lord dwells in the spaces and interspaces. I have such a great
longing to see the Lord (God/Akalpurakh/Parmatma).
The God/Akalpurakh/Paramatma sitting in our body gives the strength and we continue to live. As soon as He takes away the strength, the person dies a physical death. On dying, the five elements, of which the body is made of, merge in the five elements and Atma in the God/Akalpurakh/Paramatma. Thus, nothing is left. What happens to the Atma, thereafter, no body knows.
