Our Experience Of The World Around Us Is Had By Us Only Through The Channels

 - of perception known as the senses. Our Ear grasps Sound, our Skin Touch, Our Eye Form, Our Tongue Taste, and our nose Smell.

- But for these organs, there can possibly be no experience of the external world. The Ear enables us to know not only Sound but also its varieties,

- whether it is loud or low, harsh or musical and so on. Similarly, the other organs enable us to know not only Touch, Form, Taste and Smell but also their varieties

- Though Sound is not the same as Touch, Form, Taste or Smell, that is though these experiences are of quite different sorts, quite distinct from one another

- the entity who has these experiences remains the same throughout. The entity that hears is not distinct from the one who touches, sees, tastes or smells

- The variedness in the objects of experiences does not in the least affect the identity and singleness of the experiencing entity. It ever remains the same

- I see a jar; I see a book. I see a cloth; I see a tree. Though the objects seen vary among themselves, the I that sees all of them is the same

- I know that a sound is pleasant; I know that velvet is soft; I know that a painting is of a river in floods; I know that a mango is sweet; I know that a dish is pungent
