Every koan has the same answer:
“Don’t know”.
Earth: It is the Water Element that registers pressure and absence of pressure - space.
Air: It is the Water Element that registers vibrations, slow as in the breath, or fast or neither, as in bodily sensations.
Fire: It is the Water Element that registers temperature, energy, combustion and digestion as hot or cold or neither.
Is there anything that can know any of this outside of the body?
