Control of mind by withdrawal from senses. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

This implies a state of mind, which is above and beyond all dualities such as joy and grief, liking and disliking, good and bad, praise and blame, which agitates and affect the common man. But these universal experiences can be overcome or relegated by means of spiritual exercises or intellectual inquiry. You can escape from these opposites and dualities and attain balance and stability. Uparati can be achieved if one is careful, while engaged in day-to-day living, to avoid entanglement with and bondage to differences and distinctions. One should free himself from identification with castes like Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra or clans like Gotras or conditions like boyhood, youth, adult and old age, or genders like masculine and feminine. When he succeeds in discarding these and is firmly established in the Atmic Reality alone, he has really achieved Uparati. Do not look at the world as the world with a worldly eye. Look upon it with the eye of Atma, as the projection of Paramatma. That can make one cross the horizon of dualities into the region of One. The One is experienced as many because of the forms and names man has imposed on it. That is the result of the mind playing its game. Uparati promotes inner exploration. Nivritti, not outer enquiry and activity, Pravritti. Along Nivritti lies the Path of Jnana (Intellectual Inquiry); along Pravritti lies the Path of Karma (Dedicated Activity).
