श्रोत्रं त्वग् चक्षुः रसना घ्राणमिति पञ्च ज्ञानेन्द्रियाणि |TB-19|
First the guru starts unfolding what does he mean by sUkshma SarIram or suble body.. Among the various religions and peoples of the world, "soul" is the most commonly ABUSED word.. why and how so? many think that soul is a separate entity other thatn the body, thta it survives death, that it retains its original association with each and every one of, ends up in ETERNAL HEAVEN OR HELL (if you are a non-hindu), IN VAIKUNTAM OR KAILASAM, IF YOU ARE A HINDU, go-lok-brindAban if you are a hare krishna, and so on and so forth.. So let us examine this clean model given to us by our scriptures..!
पञ्च ज्ञानेन्द्रियाणि.. the five organs of knowledge are.. श्रोत्रं (ears) त्वग् (skin) चक्षुः (eyes)रसना (taste buds) घ्राणमिति (and nose)..
After simply naming them, the guru tells the student what are their functions..
श्रोत्रस्य विषयः शब्द ग्रहणम् | त्वचो विषयः स्पर्शग्रहणम्| चक्षुषः विषयः रूपग्रहणम्| रसनाया विषयः रसग्रहनम्|
घ्राणस्य विषयः घन्धग्रहणम्|TB-20|
Let us take them one at a time..
श्रोत्रस्य विषयः शब्द ग्रहणम् | The object to be known by the organ of knolwedge called ears is sense of sound.. FROM THE OUTSIDE..
त्वचो विषयः स्पर्शग्रहणम्| The object to be known by the organ of knolwedge called skin is the sense of touch.. FROM THE OUTSIDE..
चक्षुषः विषयः रूपग्रहणम्|The object to be known by the organ of knolwedge called eyes is the form (including the color) of an object.. FROM THE OUTSIDE..
रसनाया विषयः रसग्रहनम्| The object to be known by the organ of knolwedge called taste buds is the taste.. (there are basically six types of tastes we recognize) FROM THE OUTSIDE..
घ्राणस्य विषयः घन्धग्रहणम्| The object to be known by the organ of knolwedge called nose is the smell available to us from the outside.. FROM THE OUTSIDE..
FROM THE OUTSIDE.. IS VERY IMPORTATN HERE.. this is how BagavAn has designed he human body's organs of knowledge.. we can only understand what is FROM THE OUTSIDE..!! let us proceed furhter..!
