(84) The accumulation of bodily perception is laborious and causes the mind to be fickle, hence it is a high form of affliction. Therefore, this external pranayama is not intended here. Here, the spiritual-feeling pranayama is presented - in which the feeling that goes towards external objects is expelled, purged, and defeated, which is the expelling action. In this, the internal feeling is filled - the feeling of the inner self is filled, which is the filling action, and that stable state of the inner self is the kumbhaka action. This feeling pranayama, which is the nature of the self, is desired in the spiritual path of yoga. "External feeling expelling here, filling internal feeling; kumbhaka stability by virtue, pranayama nature... Manmohan Jinji! Sweet is your word." - Shri Gadh D. Sajay 5. Pratyahara - withdrawing the senses from the objects of the senses is pratyahara. Not connecting the senses to the five objects of the senses is pratyahara. "The senses do not connect with the objects of the senses, that is pratyahara." - Shri Yoga Sajay 6. Dharana - "Rerayashchitt Dhana" (Pa. Che.) Holding the mind to a place is dharana. Holding the mind to a limited place, such as the contemplation of a certain element, is dharana. 7. Dhyana - "Tatra Prachaijatana Dhyana" In it, the unity of perception is dhyana. Dhyana is the cessation of the fluctuating thoughts of the mind. To contemplate the nature of the self with one-pointedness is dhyana. 8. Samadhi - To become the nature of the self, to attain the truth, to be absorbed in the truth is samadhi. Where there is no difference between the meditator, the meditation, and the object of meditation, all three become one, that is samadhi. "The meditator, meditation, and object of meditation are one, we will now cut the difference..." - Shri Yashovijayji - Eight Ashya Desha: When the mind, which is afflicted with the eight afflictions, abandons the evil intentions, then the corresponding vision is attained. When the first affliction is abandoned, the first vision of friendship is attained, and so on. It is essential for the soul, which is full of intellect, to remove these afflictions with all its efforts, because victory of the mind is necessary for the attainment of liberation, and these eight afflictions hinder that victory. When these afflictions are removed, the virtues manifest. Its concise form is as follows: 1. To become tired, to become tired while progressing on the auspicious path. When this affliction is removed, the vision of friendship is attained.
