Editing Powers and Senses (section)

=== 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.
