श्लोक कहता है
Speaking, letting go, taking hold, opening the eyes and closing them — holding throughout that the senses are simply moving among the things of the senses.
सरल शब्दों में
The list continues and gets smaller.
Opening your eyes. Closing them. Picking something up.
The last line is the whole method: the senses are busy among their objects, and that is all that is happening.
आपने इसे कहाँ महसूस किया है
Your father has driven the same route for thirty years. Ask him afterwards which way he came and he honestly cannot say. He was not absent — he stopped at every light. Nobody was steering in the way you mean by steering.
और गहराई में
This is the same sentence as 3.28, and the repetition is deliberate: the senses move among the things of the senses.
What is new is the company it keeps. In Chapter 3 the line arrived inside an argument about nature's machinery. Here it is surrounded by blinking and speaking, which brings it down out of theory.
Dhārayan — holding, keeping in mind. It is a participle, not a conclusion. The person is not asserting this once and moving on; they are carrying it while the blinking and speaking happen.
That is a practice rather than a belief, and it is unusually available. It does not need a quiet room or a free hour.
What it asks for is a small shift in the position you watch from, repeated until it stops needing to be repeated.
