Eknath Easwaran's Commentary
Consciousness flows out through the senses, following desire; it goes where our attention goes. When you are listening, for example, to your favorite music, consciousness runs out of the mind and into the ear.
In reaching out through the senses, we travel away from the indivisible unity of life at the center of our being. To live a balanced life, we must be able to flow outwards when necessary, and to center inwards when necessary.
