So, if the point is maintaining "enruptedness" in the eternal point, it would make no difference if you rested your eyes on your balls or me on the tip of my hair ( the one on my head I mean!) or shoes. Actually the technique is all about
giving and taking drishti, conducting meditation, who sits on the gaddhi next to perform that practise. And let me ask a naive question: since-theoretically-the person conducting meditation is supposed to be in deep Yoga with the Supreme Soul, therefore inspiring the audience to get into a similarly focussed state, what's the point of facing people and even turning head and eyes like a beam, like a rotating lighthouse?
Why don't we all stare at the wall, a portrait, a light or object, at nothing at all or at something we choose?
Last but not least: aren't we all programmed to feel guilty, or that it is bad manners to close the eyes (and even doze off but maybe it's a divine protection when that happens !!
), or look away when the meditation conductor is staring at us?
Are obedient Baba's children ever given the freedom to really choose anything they are comfortable with, without being judged, labelled or pressured?
