- Keeping external objects outside, fixing the eyes at the juncture of the eye-brows, and controlling the outgoing and incoming breaths that move through the nostrils, the contemplative who has mastery over his organs, mind, and intellect should be fully intent on Liberation and free from desire, fear, and anger. He who is ever thus is verily free.
