Editing Powers and Senses (section)

== Sense ==
The senses in a person are: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Similar to powers, senses are also illuminations from the soul, but they are not the essence of the soul's illumination (like powers) but only its externality and extension, and they are not revealed in the limbs themselves but only in the "cracks" of the body: eyes, ears, nostrils, etc.

Even their revelation in these organs is not in the organs themselves, but through the organs. Similar to the revelation of breath from the mouth during speech, where the breath is not related to the speech itself, and speech is not clothed in breath, but it is revealed together with it.

=== Their Function ===
The difference between powers and senses is also evident in their function: while powers provide life force to the organs and even influence others, senses do not give life to the organs, and certainly do not affect others at all.

==== Advantage of Senses over Powers ====
The advantage of senses over powers is that in them the essence of pleasure, which is the inner dimension of the soul, is revealed. The reason for this is that although powers are more elevated than senses, the root of the senses is anchored in the very essence of the soul - much higher than the powers, and as everyone feels in themselves, the pleasure in seeing "captures" them much more than the pleasure in intellectual understanding.

Within this itself there are different levels: despite the greatness of the pleasure in the power of sight, the pleasure in hearing is greater than it, and the pleasure in smell is even greater, as we see tangibly that it touches the essence of the soul, so that even when a person faints, they can be awakened by giving them something to smell, and the greatest pleasure is the pleasure in the power of speech.
