THE TRAINING OF THE MIND 37
The senses depend for their accu-
racy and sensitiveness on the un-
obstructed activity of the nerves which
are the channels of their information
and the passive acceptance of the
mind which is the recipient. In
themselves the organs do their work
perfectly. The eye gives the right
form, the ear the correct sound, the
palate the right taste, the skin the
right touch, the nose the right smell.
This can easily be understood if we
study the action of the eye as a
crucial example. A correct image is
reproduced automatically on the retina,

it, it is not the fault of the organ, but
of something else.
The fault may be with the nerve
currents. The nerves are nothing but
channels, they have no power in
themselves to alter the information
