Kaushitaki Upanishad 2.3
intermediate
चक्षुः प्रतिहारः श्रोत्रमाख्याता वाक्परिवेष्ट्री।
cakṣuḥ pratihāraḥ śrotraḥ ākhyātā vākparivesṭrī |
"The eye is the receiver, the ear is the reporter, speech is the attendant."
What This Means:
Each sense organ has a role in serving consciousness - eyes receive impressions, ears report sounds, speech communicates.
Going Deeper:
The senses are like servants in a royal court, each with a specific function in serving the sovereign consciousness.
How To Apply This:
Observe how your senses serve you - they are instruments, not the master.
