Those with right faith (Samyak Darshan) constantly move away from worldly objects, and like a tortoise, they withdraw their senses from objects. Therefore, their flow of karmic afflictions (Asrava) easily ceases, and a state of intense austerity (Samvara) is revealed. As a result, their soul itself becomes the embodiment of austerity (Samvara), becoming hidden in its pure form. Thus, the benefits of the fivefold vision (Panchama Drishti), including eternal vision (Nitya Darshan) and withdrawal (Pratyahara), are particularly strong and pure in this sixth vision (Shasta Drishti). Seeing such supremely generous and virtuous individuals with right faith (Samyak Darshan), others naturally feel love for them. Their popularity stems from the inherent charm of their character, which is a manifestation of their great austerity (Samvara). What is the reason for this immense influence of these great souls? It is because seeing them evokes natural love and respect in others.
The sixth limb of yoga, called "Dharana," is "to serve the Jina (liberated soul), to hold the goal (Moksha) in mind." - Shri Devchandraji. In this vision, the sixth limb of yoga, called "Dharana," is attained, because it naturally follows the attainment of the fifth limb, called "Pratyahara" (withdrawal). Dharana means to confine the mind to a specific limited area or field, to keep it focused and free from distractions. This is the definition of Dharana. The mind, like a monkey, is extremely fickle and restless, constantly wandering in all directions. To stabilize it in the tip of the nose (Nasagra) or to keep it engaged in the continuous ascent and descent of the Shruta Skandha (scriptural knowledge), to bind it with the chain of love to the nail of devotion to the Lord, or to keep it engaged in the practice of pure self-reflection, is Dharana. (See page 212-213) The function of Pratyahara is to withdraw the soul from external influences, and the function of Dharana is to hold it in its own essence. Thus, to divert the mind from objects and engage it only in its own essence, to keep it focused on the true nature of the soul (Atma Swaroop Dharma), is the pure Dharana that a person with right faith (Samyak Darshan) practices, which ultimately leads to complete absorption (Samadhi) filled with bliss (Tattvananda). Such a person with right faith (Samyak Darshan) and excellent self-absorption (Atma Dharana) transcends all external influences (Paraparinaati), refutes all dualities (Bhedavada), and establishes himself in the vast, undivided, and knowledge-filled nature of the soul (Atma Swaroop). After that, where is there any scope for further action (Karma) or karmic bondage (Paudgalik Karma)?
Such a wonderful soul, filled with the essence of the soul (Atma Swaroop Dharma) - (For more details, see) - Shri Samayasar Kalash.
