Presiding over the ear, the eye, touch, taste and smell, as well as the mind, it enjoys the objects of the senses.

Presiding over hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell, and over the mind, it enjoys the objects of the senses.

This verse names the instruments through which the indwelling self meets the world: ear, eye, skin, tongue and nose, along with the mind. Resting on these, it experiences sense objects. The description is straightforward, but it matters for the chapter's argument. Experience happens through faculties that belong to nature, while the one who experiences stands behind them. That distinction prepares for the next verses, which ask why so few people actually notice this presence within themselves.
