Verse 3.48

ग्रहणस्वरूपास्मिताअवयार्थवत्त्वसंयमातिन्द्रिय जयः ॥४८॥

grahaṇa-svarūpa-asmitā-avaya-arthavattva-saṁyamāt-indriya jayaḥ ॥48॥

By making Samyama on the objectivity, knowledge and egoism of the organs, by gradation comes the conquest of the organs.

Verse 3.49

ततो मनोजवित्वं विकरणभावः प्रधानजयश्च ॥४९॥

tato mano-javitvaṁ vikaraṇa-bhāvaḥ pradhāna-jayaś-ca ॥49॥

From that comes glorified mind, power of the organs independently of the body, and conquest of nature.

In perception of external objects the organs leave their place in the mind and go towards the object; that is followed by knowledge and egoism. When the Yogi makes Samyama on these by gradation he conquers the organs.

 Take up anything that you see or feel, a book, for instance, and first concentrate the mind on the thing itself. Then on the knowledge that it is in the form of a book, and then the Ego that sees the book. By that practice all the organs will be conquers.

When the properties of organs have been conquered, and both body and mind is purified, the self perceives directly and quickly, independent of nature. Body, senses, mind stand equal to the seer in their movements, and the soul drinks its own sweetness. 

Sage Vyasa, commenting on this state, calls it madhu pratika (madhu = sweetness, honey; pratika = turned towards). The taste of honey is the same from whichever side of the comb it is drawn. 

Similarly, the organs of action and senses of perception, body and mind are made as pure as the soul when they are transformed to the level of the soul. In this spiritual elation, they lose interest in sensual gratification and pleasure. Each cell reflects the light of the pure Self and each cell drinks the nectar of the soul. This is madhu pratika.
