Praśānti – peaceful

«See forms like a blind man. Hear sound like a deaf man. Look upon (thy) body as o a piece of wood. Such is the description of  a Prasānta (Yogin with his senses tranquillized)» (Amrta-nādopanishad, 14)

The dictionary describes praśānti as «to sink into rest, rest, tranquility (especially of the mind), calm, stillness, pacification». This is why the quoted verse  saysthe yogin is a piece of wood: he does not let himself be disturbed by the sense organs.

Finally a little peace for you, Pisces. After several years of suffering and hardship, there comes a time where you can feel comfortable, where everything moves effortlessly and where you understand and be understood without clashes. Now, avoid becoming a piece of wood even physically: in fact you risk getting a little lazy in this flow, but sometimes laziness is also needed.
