The senses are the door through which you experience not only the world, but even the identity you carry about you. Please understand, you taste even the identity you carry about you, only through the senses. Mastering your senses means Mastering the identity you carry about you. The first truth I want you to understand is you do not experience only the outer world through your senses as you think. This is one of the important revelations I want you to understand.

Not only do you experience the outer world through your senses, you experience what your inner identity is also through your senses. You can see this happening in your life. If you Master even one sense, your understanding about you will change. For example, suppose you decide to Master your tongue, your sense of taste, and you start following the practice of eating only two healthy meals a day. You will see that in your very inner identity, you will start feeling healthy. Mastery over the senses is required to experience you as a new you.
