Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 During my visit to the meditation hall, I sat in two different corners one of the headside of Ramana's painting and one on the leg- side. In both places I felt he was looking at me. I then realized that when a face is painted with eyes looking outward straight into the seer, then no matter where you see the picture from it looks like, it looks at you. As soon as this thought came, another thought came that, not just this picture of Ramana, even when here was physically sitting here he could gaze that way. But just a fleeting thought and forgot it. Today, a few minutes ago, I got onto a website where Kunju Swami recollects this: "There are numerous photos of Bhagavan. Have you ever seen one with his eyes closed? Bhagavan was pouring out his grace through his eyes. There would be any number of devotees sitting before him and each one would feel that Bhagavan was looking only at him or her. There are numerous photos of Bhagavan. Have you ever seen one with his eyes closed? Bhagavan was pouring out his grace through his eyes. There would be any number of devotees sitting before him and each one would feel that Bhagavan was looking only at him or her. Bhagavan's dristhi (sight) was concentrated on space only. It was turned inward and everyone felt inwardly, in their hearts, that his sight was focused on them alone. Bhagavan cares about everyone, and his look pierces through each one's heart, dispels our darkness, gives us peace, even some liberation. " I realize that when Guru remains with his eyes looking INward straight into the Seer, then no matter where you see Him from it looks like, He looks at you.
