Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (214) Nimishah -The condition of " the eyelids closed " is called Nimishah; the unwinking is called Animishah. When the eyes are open, the mind is extrovert; the condition of mental introvertedness is expressed in an unconscious closing of the eyes. When a man is deeply thinking, remembering, contemplating, we find him naturally closing his eyes. In a state of intense contemplation, when the intellect is turned away from the objects-of-experiences, the bosom experiences the One Divine " Subject " both within and without. The Lord is described here as " with eyes closed " , only to indicate that He is ever rooted in Himself; from Him viewed, there exists nothing other than Himself to constitute the world- of-objects.
