Sensing and experiencing

Matter is not just money, and being materialistic is not just being identified with money.
Everything that we see, feel, touch, taste, smell...
everything that is perceived by our 5 senses is matter.
And If we are only concerned with identifying with what is perceived by our senses,
we would live a lop-sided life of a materialistic, a very limited life.

What if we had 7 senses?
Our experiences would become more intense.
What if we had only 3 senses?
Our experinces would become less intense or just different.

But WHO is having these senses? WHO is experiencing?
Can we perceive with the senses alone, without this 'Who' ?

When the ONE WHO IS experiencing, starts settling in its true space,
the perception becomes Panoramic.

A painter for e.g. would see more lights and shades, intense colours than others.
A photographer would see variety of perspectives, and angles and compositions.
A writer, might see stories in peoples faces, body language.
A poet, would see the flow of life, just like a poem flowing.
A dancer, would find the trees dancing, the eyes, expressions changing every moment, the life dancing around.
A lover would feel gratitude for all experiences.
And a spiritual, who has started settling or is settled in the 'ONE', would see the whole play around, would see the panoramic world, without any duality. His perceptions would be deeper, clearer, simple and total.
So the intensity of our living, our experiencing deepens, with our deepening into the ONE.
And this is to be SENSITIVE and Soft.

The senses cannot exist without this ONE.
The ONE can exist without all the senses.

As we are, we are a slave of our senses, our temptation to experiencing, to perceiving, keeping us limited to a fragment of living.
When we start moving towards the ONE inside, who is experiencing,
we start becoming a master of our senses, free of all temptations, and moving yet not moving.
enjoying deeply, without an intention to enjoy.

This is a paradox but why not experiment it yourself.
