This particular position is called liberation in the Supreme. #$p#After explaining the above principles of liberation in the Supreme, the Lord gives instruction to Arjuna as to how one can come to that position by the practice of mysticism or #i#yoga#/i#, known as #i#aṣṭāṅga-yoga#/i#, which is divisible into an eightfold procedure called #i#yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāraṇā, dhyāna#/i#, and #i#samādhi#/i#. In the Sixth Chapter the subject of #i#yoga#/i# is explicitly detailed, and at the end of the Fifth it is only preliminarily explained. One has to drive out the sense objects such as sound, touch, form, taste and smell by the #i#pratyāhāra#/i# (breathing) process in #i#yoga#/i#, and then keep the vision of the eyes between the two eyebrows and concentrate on the tip of the nose with half closed lids. There is no benefit in closing the eyes altogether, because then there is every chance of falling asleep. Nor is there benefit in opening the eyes completely, because then there is the hazard of being attracted by sense objects. The breathing movement is restrained within the nostrils by neutralizing the up- and down-moving air within the body. By practice of such #i#yoga#/i# one is able to gain control over the senses, refrain from outward sense objects, and thus prepare oneself for liberation in the Supreme. #$p#This #i#yoga#/i# process helps one become free from all kinds of fear and anger and thus feel the presence of the Supersoul in the transcendental situation. In other words, Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the easiest process of executing #i#yoga#/i# principles. This will be thoroughly explained in the next chapter. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person, however, being always engaged in devotional service, does not risk losing his senses to some other engagement. This is a better way of controlling the senses than by the #i#aṣṭāṅga-yoga#/i#. #/p# #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXTS_27-28"#TEXTS 27-28#/span##/h4# #div class="devanagari"# #dl##dd#स्पर्शान्कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवोः ।#/dd# #dd#प्राणापानौ समौ कृत्वा नासाभ्यन्तरचारिणौ ॥२७॥#/dd# #dd#यतेन्द्रियमनोबुद्धिर्मुनिर्मोक्षपरायणः ।#/dd# #dd#विगतेच्छाभयक्रोधो यः सदा मुक्त एव सः ॥२८॥#/dd##/dl# #/div# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#sparśān kṛtvā bahir bāhyāṁś#/dd# #dd#cakṣuś caivāntare bhruvoḥ#/dd# #dd#prāṇāpānau samau kṛtvā#/dd# #dd#nāsābhyantara-cāriṇau#/dd##/dl# #dl##dd#yatendriya-mano-buddhir#/dd# #dd#munir mokṣa-parāyaṇaḥ#/dd# #dd#vigatecchā-bhaya-krodho#/dd# #dd#yaḥ sadā mukta eva saḥ#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #p##i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sparśān&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sparśān#/i# — sense objects, such as sound;
