The collection of *gadashti* remains stable, but the brilliance of this *samyagdarshan* jewel, which is "the brilliance of all brilliance," increases with the strength of experience and practice. (6) Just as a jewel lamp is not extinguished by the wind and does not become fickle or unstable, so this jewel lamp of *samyagdarshan* is not affected by the wind of attachment and does not become fickle or unstable. "The stability that cannot be shaken by household troubles or external dangers, that is the end." (See footnote p. 68). (7) Just as a jewel lamp always appears beautiful and does not become weak or thin, so this jewel lamp of *samyagdarshan* always appears beautiful and,

(For clarification, see pp. 69-70). And so on, in many ways, this stable vision of *darshan* - *bodhi* is similar to the light of a jewel, their similarities cannot be diminished. The more we contemplate this metaphor, the more miraculous it appears, and it evokes a sense of awe and reverence for the words of the *jnani*. Here, a brief overview has been given. Contemplate it further with your own mind.
"The fifth limb of yoga - *pratyahara* - does not involve the senses with the objects of the senses, it is here in *pratyahara*." - *Sakzaya*, 6-4.
After the fourth limb of yoga, *pranayama*, is attained through vision, the fifth limb, called *pratyahara*, naturally arises. *Pratyahara* (prati + ahar) means to withdraw the senses from their objects. "When the senses are not attached to objects,
