*The four Brachos of Havdalah
The first Bracha
Pri Hagafen is for the sense of taste.
The second Bracha
Minei Besamim is for sense of smell.
The third Bracha
Meorei Ha'aish is for sense of sight.
The fourth Bracha
Hamavdil is for the sense of understanding.
The first sense is the
lowest level. The mouth needs touch
the food (wine) in order to
taste it.
The second sense
doesn't require contact but is limited to
a certain distance to be able
to smell.
The third sense,
"sight" has also its limits but the distance of
sight goes much further than
smell.
"Understanding" is
the highest level. There are no limitations.
One can understand things
happening on the other side of
the globe and beyond.
The Ribono Shel Olam created
man in that order.The brains
on top of the eyes, the eyes
on top of the nose and the nose
on top of the mouth.
*רשב"ץ מגן אבות ח"ג
And all the brachos are recited aloud = hearing.
