ਦਸ ਬੈਰਾਗਨਿ ਆਗਿਆਕਾਰੀ ਤਬ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਜੋਗੀ ਥੀਝ ॥੨॥
The Das Bairagan (the ten senses) also called the Indriyas, in traditional Yoga philosophy and practice, compare a human being to being like a building with ten doors. Five are entrance doors, and five are exit doors. Consciously, actively and intentionally witnessing these ten senses as they function is an important part of Yoga meditation, and meditation in action.
- Karmendriyas: The five exit doors are five means of expression. (Karma means action. Indriyas are the means or senses.) Karmendriya includes elimination (passing wastes from the body), procreation (organs of reproduction), moving i.e feet, grasping i.e hands and speaking i.e mouth
- Jnanendriyas: The five entrance doors are the five cognitive senses. (Jnana means knowing. Indriyas are the means or senses.) Jnanendriyas include organs related to: the ability to smell, the ability to taste, the ability to see, the ability to touch, the ability to hear.
The Guru Granth Sahib tells us that the person who has the 10 Bairagan (senses) under their control is a Pure person.
