Pratyahara
Pratyahara
means alternative food. It means to refrain or refuse from eating food
that you usually have, and choosing something else to eat (referring to
food more conducive to the body for spiritual practices). Our senses
have a tendency to go outwards. To bring them inwards we need a
different regime of food and set of thoughts. That is Pratyahara. Just
as we give a pacifier to crying babies to calm them, similarly we give
alternatives to a mind that is restless and not at peace. That is
Pratyahara. || Jai Guru Dev ||
