That person, having made the external touch external, keeping the eyes between eyebrows, balancing the upward and downward air within the nostril, controlling the movement of the senses, the mind, and the intellect, practices towards the supreme goal of liberation. Indeed, such a person without desire, fear, and anger is always liberated.
