The mind will go where self seems to be... If our main identity is with the body, the mind will tend to indulge in that experience... The senses are not bad because of this relationship of mind and body. Making that judgment is like shooting the messenger. If we undertake deep meditation and other practices that purify and open the nervous system, the sense of self gradually expands inside to silent pure bliss consciousness. The senses also expand gradually inward to more enjoyable levels of ecstatic experience. Then the mind finds something more than the physical body to be fascinated with -- pure bliss consciousness, which is the mind's essential nature, and also a refinement of sensory experience to levels of divine ecstasy.
