GRAHANA SWARUPA ASMITA ANWYAYA ARTHAWATTA SAIYAMAT INDRIYA JAYAH
BY CONCENTRATING ON THE INDRIYA -SENSE ORGANS AND THEIR
NATURE AND THE THE EGO (WHICH IS THE ORIGIN OF THEM ) AND
THE THREE GUNAS AND THEIR PURPOSE IN FORM OF ENJOYMENT
AND ACTION YOGI ATTAINS MASTERY OVER THEM .
This one Sutra is interesting as it is little confusing . One could have said that when you concentrate on the senses , one attains the control over them.'.But here Sage Patanjali wants us to remember other stuff as the external Indriya or the senses ARE NOT THE CONTROLLER !
So again there is tracing back of the origin of the universe. But to start with the first word is GRAHANA- ,which means different things for different sense. The Eyes see and the Ears hear the Sound and the Skin has touch and the Tongue has taste and the Nose has Smell. But if one looks at it carefully . he will realize that the eyes DON'T SEE and the Skin does not have the sensation of Touch and the Ears don;t hear and so on . When the Light rays or the photon particles hit an object , they are reflected all over and when they enter the eyes and travel to Retina , the nerve endings of the optic nerve has some reaction and the Impulse is transmitted to the Occipital ital are of the bairn and there is a chemical reaction and one knows that he is seeing an object -say a dog. But who is really seeing - not the eyes as sometimes when we are lost in thought we do not See an object even though the object is in front of our eyes and the photons reflected from the object do enter out eyes and the optic nerve does it's job of taking the impulse to occipital area in brain and the neurons there . But we do not PERCEIVE ! So it is beyond the Brain and it is the ANTAHKARAN . The 'I' is not doer and is independent observer. So the grasping is the GRAHANNA of the SENSES and the real nature beyond it is the SWAPUP .So when I see a dog , my brain recognizes as dog bases on my previous experience . But the Intellect tells me that it is particular dog. So the MIND and the Intellect are also involved . So when I recognize the dog to be say MY DOG -called DUKE , number of things are involved and the General knowledge is that it is a Dog . while the special knowledge is that it is a particular dog.
So as we can see there is more to the whole process . Our reactions are based on our experiences . So if one sees a steak ,vegetarian will have no desire to eat it , while the meat lover will start salivating. So our MIND and Intellect and experiences or the SAUSKARAS are involved in our reaction..Our reaction and action is bases on the balance or the imbalance of the 3 GUNAS. So if we see gold neck less, depending upon our nature we will ACT and React . The Yogi does not want it , the other people will want it. So ONE gets full control over the senses when on gets FULL control over all these things including mind, intellect . ego and 3 Gunas .
In the beginning, when the universe came in existence , the AHANKAR or the EGO arouse. The three Gunas , which were in balance get imbalanced and the Satwic Guna and Ego. make the DNYANENDRIYE or the SENSE organs , the RAJASIC Guna and the EGO , make KARMENDRIYE or Organs of Action ,and 5 PRANAS and TAMASIC PART OF THE EGO goes to form the TANMATRA or the changes PANCHAMAHABHUTE or 5 big elements .
So when one goes back in the precess upon concentrating on these things there are 2 paths . With one path Yogi gets BHUTAJAY and the other oath goes to have INDRIYA JAY or control of the sense organs and the organs of action -which are the INDRIYA.
