THIS POST IS CONTINUED FROM PART   

There is a difference between control and supreme control. By controlling one Indriya alone, the other four will not come under your control. When the mind is rendered pure and one-pointed and when it is turned inwards towards the Purusha, then and then alone supreme control of all organs follows. He who has practised Pratyahara can have good concentration and meditation. His mind is always peaceful.

This demands patience and constant practice. It takes some years before one is well-established in Pratyahara. He who has mastery over Pratyahara will never complain of Vikshepa or distraction of mind. He can sit in a place in a busy city where four roads meet and meditate whenever he likes. He does not want a cave for meditation.

Just as the tortoise draws in on all sides its limbs, so also, the Yogi withdraws all his senses from the objects of sense through the practice of Pratyahara. Pratyahara gives power to the practitioner. When the Indriyas are withdrawn from the objects, then you can fix the mind on a particular point. Pratyahara and Dharana are interdependent. You cannot practise one without the other.

  – – Tatah parama vasyata indriyanam,  Patanjali Yoga Sutra, BC

Pratyahara results in the absolute control of the sense organs.

The effect of pratyahara is felt when the senses are mastered, and the mind is mature and fervent for its spiritual quest.    When the senses have ceased to pursue after pleasures obtained from the phenomenal world, they can be yoked to serve the soul.

Pratyahara sublimates both senses and mind. Pratyahara  practice when mastered, gives the student yogin, the qualification to practice higher yoga, which are mainly actions on the mystic plane. Mastery of the senses comes about by learning to withdraw them. Through that turning in
