Pralapan visrijan grihnan unmishan nimishann api, indriyanindriyartheshu vartanta iti dharayan

Speaking, releasing, grasping, opening and closing the eyes — the yogi understands that it is only the senses moving among their objects. The Self remains untouched, like a witness behind all bodily and sensory activity.

  • Sensory activity is the domain of the instruments, not the Self
  • The yogi maintains clear discrimination between Self and body
  • Constant awareness of non-doership liberates the practitioner
