The five elements each have a characteristic that affects and attracts one of

the five senses. The ether as sound fascinates the mind through the ear; air as

touch draws the mind to itself through the skin; fire as form manipulates the

mind in its favour through the eye; water as taste enslaves the mind through

the tongue; and earth as smell intoxicates the mind through the nose. The

senses interact with the external world and produce experiences which yield joy

or grief. Falsely identifying himself with the senses, man suffers in the coils

of attachment. He does not realize that he is neither the body nor the senses,

that he is Brahman Himself.- Baba
