Indriya

इन्द्रिय · indriya

the senses

The five senses of knowing and five organs of acting, with the mind as their coordinator. They rush outward to their objects and can carry understanding away as wind carries a boat. The Gita does not ask for them to be destroyed but mastered, so that a person can move among sense objects without being pulled by attraction or aversion.
