Significance of Absorbent properties
Absorbent properties, as explained by Vedanta, relate to the characteristics of Air and Breath that enable them to merge with and absorb various elements or deities. In contrast, science defines absorbent properties as the ability of certain vegetable juices to absorb excess fluids for health benefits, and the capacity of substances to soak up moisture, which is particularly beneficial for managing oiliness on the skin. Thus, the concept is multifaceted, with both spiritual and practical implications.
