By fixing the mind on a single modification generated by the sensory objects, the mind  is calmed || 1.35 ||  Here Patanjali gives another method to calm the mind.  Outer objects are not responsible for our happiness or sorrows but the identification of sense organs with the objects makes us happy or sad in life.  A bar of chocolate by itself cannot make us happy.  A hot chilly by itself cannot make us sad.  When our sense organs get attached to them, we experience happiness or sorrow.  By a careful analysis of this one will be able to remain equipoise in all situations.

The Yogacharya Bhagavan Shri Krishna in Bhagavad Geeta says this:

matra-sparshas tu kaunteya shitoshna-sukha-duhkha-dah
agamapayino ’nityas tans-titikshasva bharata || 2.14 ||

 O son of Kunti, the contact between the senses and the sense objects gives rise to fleeting perceptions of happiness and distress. These are non-permanent, and come and go like the winter and summer seasons. O descendent of Bharat, one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.

One will easily be able to disengage the mind from the sense organs when one develops taste for higher things in life.

vishaya vinivartante niraharasya dehinah
rasa-varjam raso ’pyasya param drishtva nivartate || 2.59 ||

Aspirants may restrain the senses from their objects of enjoyment, but the taste for the sense objects remains. However, even this taste ceases for those who realises the Supreme.
