Uparati
Uparati, as defined by Sadananda, is the cessation of these external organs so restrained, from the pursuit of objects other than that, or it may mean the abandonment of the prescribed works according to scriptural injunctions (Vedantasara Sloka 21). The restraining of the mind and the sense organs is for the purpose of keeping them focussed so that they do not get distracted.
According to Adi Shankara Uparati or Uparama is the strict observance of one’s own Dharma. ''Sama'' is the restaining of the outgoing mental propensities i.e. the curbing of the mind from all objects other than hearing etc., and ''Dama'' is the restraining of the external sense-organs from all objects other than that. Uparati is ''Pratyahara'', the withdrawing of the Self (Vedantasara Slokas 18-20). These essentials along with ''Titiksha'' i.e. endurance of pairs of opposites, ''Samadhana'' i.e. constant concentration of the mind, Śraddhā i.e. faith in the truths of Vedanta, and ''Mumukshutva'' i.e. yearning for spiritual freedom, which are the six-fold inner-wealth prepare one eager for liberation to gain the knowledge of Brahman. Effort is involved in inculcating Sama and Dama but the exercise of Uparati requires no efforts. In the state of Uparati, which is total renunciation of actions i.e. enjoined duties, one discovers an inner poise, silence or joy. The mind which is conditioned to fulfil duties is not free to pursue knowledge. It is through renunciation that a few seekers have attained immortality – not through rituals, progeny or wealth – "na karmana na prajya dhanena tyagenaike amrtatvamamasuh" – ''Kaivalya Upanishad'', 3. Immortality is the state when becoming and being are one.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Swami Viditatmananda Saraswati )〕
Whereas the fruit of Vairagya is ''Bodha'' i.e. spiritual wisdom, the fruit of ''Bodha'' is ''Uparati''. The best Uparati (self-withdrawal) is that condition of the thought waves in which they are free from influences of external objects (Vivekachudamani Slokas 23). Uparati is the abstaining on principle from engaging in any acts and ceremonies enjoined by the Shastras; otherwise, it is the state of the mind which is always engaged in ''Sravana'' and the rest, without ever diverging from them.
