Senses enlighten? Do senses not facilitate scientific observations that brought about advancements in all fields all through?
Now let us find out whether and when do the senses mislead, delude and ditch.
Name any ills that plague present day system or society. Just analyse an event you detest. What prompted it. Senses. Isn't it? What prompted that rape convict waiting to climb the gallows, into committing such gruesome act? Senses.
This is not a mere oversimplification of that which we already know, yet fail to clearly discern.
Now, question is, what is the distinguishing factor, distinguishing the praiseworthy act of the senses that enlighten, from the deplorable conduct of the senses that we despise.
Answer is there, clear and unequivocal, but we overlook it.
Senses are just a set of medium, attached to the mind. By itself, the senses are not a source of enlightenment. It is the apparatus of the mind that illumines itself , using the senses as its subserving agency. That is to imply, that the senses enact the subordinate role under its master, mind being the master, using the senses as its servant. That is a pre-condition for any achievement by any one to be placed within the definition of 'enlightenment', of course talking in gross material sense, rather than abstract, much less spiritual.
Now view the mind and the senses in its roles reversed. Once the servant acquires the role of master to boss over the mind, scene changes. What we detest or decry is, in fact, the result of nothing but this very roles in reverse. 
So rapes, killings, kidnappings, scams, and all those events which we keep decrying day in and day out, would refuse to abate as long as these roles continue in its reverse mode.
Now think, how to place the perverted roles in reverse, into order. 
That is our quest. 
Stay in touch.
