‘Direct Experience ‘ Yoga Sutra Explains

The senses alone will not provide us with experience,

One may have eyes, but can not see,Blind.

So the 'act of seeing' is a separate function.

Same with the other senses.

Therefore, Indian Philosophy ascribes these actual acts, as additional Instruments for Direct experience.

These are called Karmendriyas (That perform' the action of'seeing' etc)

1.pāyu - the excretory organ.
Is the organ of excretion. Associated with the mooladhara chakra and the earth element.
2.upastha - the sexual organs
This is the generative organ.
3.pāda - the locomotion organ
Legs are the locomotory organs.
4.pāni - the organ of apprehension
Hands are the most complex organ of action as they can express,feel and touch.
5.vāk - the speech organ

With these we experience.

I hold the view that each has three personalities.

1.What we project to others.

This often, is what we think they might like.

Imagine if every one were to behave so,which every one does, one never has a real relationship and never gets to now the other.

2.The second is what we think we are.

This, normally, is a composite picture of our selves to ourselves consisting of our real nature and what has been imbibed and taught to us, which we unconsciously adopt in the visualization ourselves to ourselves.

3.The Real US.
