What are the indriyas, actually? Let us see together. They are external
instruments of experience or extensions of the brain through the body. These
instruments have been classified as sensory-experiential instruments or
gnyanendriyas and bodily-actional instruments or karmendriyas.
The brain, though localised inside the skull, is also everywhere in the body
through the nervous connections. The body-brain operations, whether
experiential, actional, reactional, physiological, psychological, etc are
captured, processed and rendered conscious through the space and energy of
attention. Without the energy of attention, emanating from the body-brain
structure and creating the space of the conscious mind, nothing can be
experienced and known, whether immediately or retrospectively.
Now where does this silent energy of attention come from? It comes from
the Universal Life animating, sustaining the body-brain complex with its
host of instruments of experience and action. When the Universal Life is
reflected in the living organism, attention, as an energy of the Universal
Life, shines and illuminates the spaces of the mind and allows all
movements of conscious experiencing, subconscious thinking and
unconscious stirring, inherent in the organism to flow and manifest.
