SENSES
Mind is completely blank nothing is pouring out; I am not able to enunciate, finding myself flabbergasted. Crooning of Sarah Vaughan hit "If you could see me now..." started from my DVD with very soft phrasing, deep tones and gentle vibrato.
"Mind" which is said, human utilizes only 10% , senses this number through one of my "Gyanendriya" or organ of perception which is responsible for our empirical knowledge or the knowledge of the sensory world- the ears via sensory system up to mind.
Mind send the signals through each cell to whole body and muscles get relaxed, senses open and contemplating sombre thoughts which lurk before vanishes away.
Senses cloud our consciousness, creating the illusory notion that we are unique individuals different and separate from the rest of creation and that we are responsible for our actions and are the actual doers. They do not let us see the unity underlying the diversity. They limit our experience and our awareness to the objective world.
We say mood…what is this mood? Different definitions are there but most appropriate seems it’s called ‘anchoring’ a positive emotional state.
Where as “...“anchoring” refers to the process of associating an internal response with some environmental or mental trigger, so that the response may be quickly, and sometimes covertly, reaccessed.”
So what we see with this that everywhere senses overcast our consciousness as I wrote above.
Just imagine how on daily basis these senses play role in our daily life, making us happier, make us laugh or sometimes paranoid or in the state of dementia. It all associated with our senses. Doesn’t it give an indication to us to control our senses?
I remember a verse from Srimad Bhagavadgita ~
In the second chapter Lord Krishna explains how suffering arises through the activity of the senses. By constantly thinking of sense objects, a mortal being becomes attached to them. Attached thus he develops various desires, from which in turn ensues anger. From anger comes delusion, and from delusion arises confusion of memory. From confusion of memory arises loss of intelligence and when intelligence is lost the breath of life is also lost (2.60-63)
This gives an alarming bell to all us mankind to practice to control all 11 numbers of our “Gyanendriyas” and “karmendriyas” (The sense organs).
