śhrotraṁ chakṣhuḥ sparśhanaṁ cha rasanaṁ ghrāṇam eva cha adhiṣhṭhāya manaśh chāyaṁ viṣhayān upasevate

Meaning

It's, like, totally in charge of your ears, eyes, touch, taste, and smell, and your mind, and it's living it up with all the sensory stuff.

Commentary

Okay, so like, the subtle body is vibing in the physical body, right? And it's totally living it up with all the senses. It's using the mind and each sense organ to, like, *experience* everything – sounds, feels, sights, tastes, smells. It's, like, riding its mind-car, zooming through its ears to hear the beats, feeling every touch, seeing all the fire fits, tasting all the bomb snacks, and smelling all the good stuff. It's chilling in its ears, eyes, skin, tongue, and nose, and also in its mind, totally living it up with all the sensory stuff. It's getting all the deets from the outside world through its mind, intellect, subconscious, ego, senses, and prana. And yeah, we gotta include the five action organs and the mind-intellect-subconscious-ego crew. The Katha Upanishad is all, 'The Self, senses, and mind together? That's the enjoyer.'
