Self and its Senses

The self has taken this body to experience, seeking pleasure is common way for the body to experience all its senses and the interaction with its surroundings. But the path to pleasure and stagnation or convergence to pleasure is where one loses self

When one moves into a house whether a homeless man or a wealthy king, they both seek shelter from the weather in that house. But soon enough they will have to leave the shelter to see the world, to do, to survive. To live one must leave that place of shelter and comfort. 

Similarly, the body and its senses have to be left behind and tamed to see the universal truth and the existence of the omnipotent that surrounds all of us, the cautionary tale with the senses is that it may trap you and give you glimpses of the world like through a windows but with no door to open, to leave its clutch.
