The devotee thus surpasses the subtle objects of different senses like aroma by smelling, the palate by tasting, vision by seeing forms, touch by contacting, the vibrations of the ear by ethereal identification, and the sense organs by material activities.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana

घ्राणेन गन्धं रसनेन वै रसं रूपं च दृष्ट्या श्वसनं त्वचैव । श्रोत्रेण चोपेत्य नभोगुणत्वं प्राणेन चाकूतिमुपैति योगी
ghrāṇena gandhaṃ rasanena vai rasaṃ rūpaṃ ca dṛṣṭyā śvasanaṃ tvacaiva | śrotreṇa copetya nabhoguṇatvaṃ prāṇena cākūtimupaiti yogī
