    With consistent Sadhana, Pranayama naturally transitions into Pratyhara. after ~2 hours of focused Pranayama, it takes about 20 minutes just to re-orient to the external world.. For example, I can't simply open my eyes. It requires covering my eyes with my hands and slowly creating gaps for light to gently hit my eyes. ( 'withdrawal of eyesight') Appetite & need for food decreases. The mind starts experiencing the body as a cause-effect machine, so healthier food choices are automatically chosen. Rarely eating for taste, but instead for the nutrients and thinking of the effects a food will have on the body. ( 'withdrawal of the taste sense') This requires shifting life from a Bhogi to a Yogi (indulger to seeker)

    "Vasudev Murthy's explanation of Pratyahara from the book 'Yogasutras Simplified' beautifully highlights the depth and importance of this component within the eight limbs of yoga. It's fascinating to delve into the wisdom and insights shared by such a knowledgeable author."🙏🌞

    Interviewer fully focused on active listening instead of focusing on what is being said. Actually that's a perfect metaphor, what a blessed coincidence.
  • @balakrishnagoudsheshagani8761
    There are no tricks ,only way is let go and realize that true nature of heart is love.And that blissfull state will take you to a destination that doesnt have a path...
  • @jeremysnowdenz
    Insightful. It resonates with my understanding. It's getting more and more in these experiences. The more we can first withdraw from the sense objects, and then the senses, we develop resilience against bad habits.
  • @sanathansatya1667
    Love everything around you, animate and inanimate, unconditionally , the doors of the eternal opens , the unifying light floods in. If our senses are creating the distractions then Patanjali is there to help us control them. Even after controlling senses we have to unify ourselves with the eternal and that is possible only through identification with the ONE and universal love is the only practical way. The rest is a self oriented spiritual goal .

    We consider 4 imp steps Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama or the art of control of prana/ impulses. These impulses are received from :- 1. Food & Drink 2. Breathing 3. the sensations of sound, smell, touch, taste & sight. The fifth step is Pratyahara. All the 4 steps together form the art of Pratyahara. The 4 steps bring one to the bank of a river. Then there is the river & then there is the other bank. One the other side is the master waiting for the sincere disciple to come. the disciple has after a long journey come to the bank of the river. This river we call as fifth step of Pratyahara. What is then pratyahara? We can say it is the process of collecting the powers of the mind and restraining them from going out to external objects. Namaha Shivaya ⚛

    It baffles me how it’s apparently so hard to include the source, basic details, or at the very least the name of the speaker in the video title or at least in the lengthy description
