Or should I sit with closed eyes and concentrate my mind on a particular thing ? Maharshi: Gaze at your own nature . It is immaterial whether the eyes are open or closed . Everywhere there is only the one , so it is all the same whether you keep your eyes open or closed. If you wish to meditate , do so on the "I" that is within you. It is Atman. Because it has no eyes , there is no need either to open or close the eyes. When you attain Self-knowledge, there will no longer be any ideas about the world . When you are sitting in a room , whether the windows are open or closed , you are the same person , in the same state . In the same way , if you abide in the state of reality , it is all the same whether the eyes are open or closed. It matters little whether external activities go or not. from THE POWER OF THE PRESENCE , vol 1, David Godman --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
