How is rain like earthly life?
Just as a life is created by the coming together of the five elements air, earth, heat, water, and wind, the rain too is created when the earth and water are heated and water rises as vapour to the sky. When it rains, the sky and wind are stormy. At, the time of death, the elements merge into elements and the soul ascends to heaven. Similarly, when rain falls, it merges with the water only to rise again as water vapour.
