In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Sense Objects are denoted by the Sanskrit term Viṣaya, according to the Sarvajñānottara 29.40.—Accordingly, while describing the no-mind state: “Having thrown off attachment to sense objects (viṣaya), one should [thus] eliminate one's mental activity. When one goes to the state of no mind, then that is the supreme bliss”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
Shaiva philosophy
Source: archive.org: Chittanubodha Shastram By Bhaskara KanthaSense-objects constitute obstacles in realizing the Supreme Reality, according to the Cittānubodhaśāstra by Rājanaka Bhāskarakaṇṭha: an 18th century text dealing with aspects of Kashmir Śaivism such as the Pratyabhijñā (lit. “divine recognition”) philosophical branch.—The purport of the Cittānubodhaśāstra is to awaken the mind and to make it realize the truth of its own nature. [...] The first chapter enumerates the sense-objects which constitute an obstacle in realizing the Supreme Reality and describes the necessary ways and means to attain the knowledge of truth. It gives a survey the views of the different systems on dvaita and advaita, on bondage and liberation, and explains the triad of knower, knowledge and object of knowledge (mātā, māna, meya), the reality of Paramaśiva, of the world and its objects.
