The organs of sense are susceptible of external impressions. The eyes are acted upon by colour which is of seven sorts white blue yellow red green orange and variegated The tongue appreciates savour which is of six sorts sweet acid saline bitter astringent and pungent The organ of smell cognises two sorts of odour fragrance and stench The organ of hearing takes cognizance of sounds which according to the Yogis are of ten kinds And the organ of touch perceives the feelings of hardness softness roughness slipperiness heat cold &c &c The organs of sense are called the organs of intellect (Buddhmdriya).
A Yogi restrains his senses just as a tortoise draws all its members by the following processes;
1st PROCESS Be seated in a quiet and tranquil posture and fix your sight on the space between the eye brows or the seat of the phrenological power termed Individuality. This process is daily practised for the space of 10 minutes when only the senses are suspended.
2nd PROCESS Be seated in a tranquil posture and fix your sight on the tip of the nose for the space often minutes.
3rd PROCESS Close the ears with the middle fingers incline the head a little to the left side and listen with each ear alternately to the sounds produced by the other ear for the space of 10 minutes.
4th PROCESS Pronounce inaudibly twelve thousand times the mystic syllable Om and meditate upon it daily after deep inspirations.
5th PROCESS This is the kapalasana in which the Yogi maintains an erect posture with the head resting on the ground.
A Yogi's senses are suspended when he can suspend the respiratory movements for the period of 10 minutes and 48 seconds. After the restraint of the senses the Yogi renders his mind tranquil with a view to adapt it to acquire wisdom jnana. He brings back the wandering thoughts and dissolves them in the contemplation of the soul.
Pratyahara is the preparatory process to which is a steady immovable abstraction with the breath suspended the mind collected and all natural wants subdued. The symptoms of Dharank closely resemble those of the cataleptic condition of the body.
