Question: Babaji, when trying to practice meditation, it is sometimes difficult to focus the eyes at the brikhuti. How important is that?

Babaji:

It is very important to hold the eyeballs still. If that can be achieved, then instantly the mind withdraws, and is held, and eventually it becomes introverted. Visual education is a very good way of attracting the mind. You can compare your attention when things are simply talked about with when they are acted out in a drama. If the story of Babaji’s life is simply told to you, or if the same thing is shown as a movie, your attention will be much greater to the movie. Vision is one of the strongest media to grab the mind’s attention, and then concentrate the mind.
Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, himself says that the movement of the eyeballs is one of the 4 obstacles to samadhi. Those obstacles are bodily movement, movement and rhythm of the breath, movement of the eyeballs and the mind itself.
If you find it difficult in the beginning, then you might like to try to look at the front portion, then the vision will slowly come closer, and eventually come together at the vanishing point - the third eye.
