Within and outside the skin is a covering of air through which sense perception became prominent.
SB 2.10.23, Purport: One can measure the temperature of matter by touching with the hand, and one can measure the weight of an object by lifting it with the hand and thus estimate its heaviness or lightness.

Prabhupāda: Not necessarily equal. Sometimes it may be imbalance. One side may be heavier than the other.
Śyāmasundara: Yes. Actually he says that most personalities are imbalanced and that the goal of life is to become balanced, or integrated.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Hmm.Conversations and Morning Walks
