Tattva

Okay kiddo, let's talk about tattva. Tattva is a Sanskrit word that means "reality" or "truth." It is a concept that comes from ancient Indian philosophy.

Think of it like a puzzle, we all have different pieces that fit together to make us who we are. Tattva is the idea that everything in the world, including us, is made up of different pieces or "building blocks" called tattvas.

There are five main tattvas: earth, water, fire, air, and space. These tattvas are the building blocks of everything in the world. For example, the tattvas of earth and water combine to make mud, and the tattvas of fire and air combine to make heat.

But that's not all! There are also tattvas that make up our mind and our soul. Our mind is made up of a tattva called "manas," which helps us think and make decisions. And our soul is made up of a tattva called "atman," which is what makes us who we are as a person.

So, tattva is the idea that everything in the world, including us, is made up of different pieces or building blocks. It's like a puzzle that helps us understand how the world works.
