When he is well situated in devotional service, one comes to the transcendental position, qualified to feel the presence of the Lord in the sphere of one's activity. This particular position is called liberation in the Supreme.</p><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&nbsp;<em>yoga,&nbsp;</em>known as&nbsp;<em>astanga-yoga,&nbsp;</em>which is divisible into an eightfold procedure called&nbsp;<em>yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana,&nbsp;</em>and&nbsp;<em>samadhi.&nbsp;</em>In the Sixth Chapter the subject of&nbsp;<em>yoga</em>&nbsp;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&nbsp;<em>pratyahara</em>&nbsp;(breathing) process in&nbsp;<em>yoga,&nbsp;</em>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&nbsp;<em>yoga&nbsp;</em>one is able to gain control over the senses, refrain from outward sense objects, and thus prepare oneself for liberation in the Supreme.</p><p>This&nbsp;<em>yoga&nbsp;</em>process helps one become free from all kinds of fear and
