How Many Senses We Have

At school, they taught us Five.
The Bhagavad-Gita said there are Eleven.
Science people said more than that. 
Must find out for ourselves. 

The body is our Temple. 
Amazing Machine.
Earth and heaven, 
We in between.

Self-Rechargeable
self-healing 
Works like an antenna.
It is our universe.

Turn the mundane 
In to spiritual experience
Experience with your senses.
Focus on the sensations.

Learn to read your body.
Reacts faster than a thought.
It brings you to the now.
What is your body saying?

Hard to read sometimes. 
If there was a class, I’ll call it:
“The Art of the Senses 
And their biology. “ 

“The body is the extension of the spirit”
