The performance of the three types of retractions related to the body, mind and senses, destroys all the respective sins. In the determination of the spiritual reality of the jiva-soul all those sins create a lot of obstacles. As mentioned earlier, retraction is a part of upaya bhakti, i.e. the process of cultivation of devotion. Destruction of sins brings gradual self-purification and helps in the blooming of bhakti.
