Spiritual Eye

Well, first you have to get into it (the spiritual eye).  Yeah, first you have to see it and then you have to get into it…you just have to keep after it….there is the golden tunnel…there’s the smaller blue tunnel…there’s the silver star.

First you have to see it.  Then how do you hold it? You hold it by, as Guruji said, look at whatever light you see right in the center of that light, and just look there with devotion, with love.  Don’t be nervous or upset or try to force anything.   If you look there calmly and deeply enough, basically you’re surrendering to it.   When that becomes deep enough…suddenly you’re in it and you don’t even know how you got there.   And that…is through devotion.   Once you’re in there, you’re not breathing.

(How do you keep it?)  That’s the big battle, is the thoughts.   That’s why you have the techniques.  You have to learn to sit still.   You can do that, that’s pretty easy. Then you have to still the restless monkey mind.  That’s hard.  That’s what the techniques are for.  You practice that technique with deep attention, and you’ll start stilling this restless mind.  And then you will start to go deep when that happens.
