The control due to the ability to reason out something isn't a threat disappears and that means, fear gets worse. My mother wasn't the only suffering from Alzheimer's disease and occasionally a number of patients created havoc when the fear of one became the fear of others and near panic followed. That might illustrate the inevitable, unless afflictions have disappeared. This requires kundalini activity of a kind that by itself requires what in the Patanjali sutras goes under yama, niyama, asana, pranayama. These four however are among the implicit partial boons making up Yama's great boons. That's the reason why I consider the Kathopanishad as a simple " ancient no nonsense " text that hasn't lost any of its value today.
