Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

CHAPTER 6 The Yog of Meditation In the course of meditation, the worshipper should keep his body, neck, and head straight, steady, and unmoving, like a column of wood as it were. Sitting erect and firm like this, he should keep his eyes fixed on the tip of his nose. Rather than meaning that he should watch the tip of the nose, the directive is that the eyes should look straight in line with the nose. The tendency of eyes of restlessly flitting here and there must be curbed. Looking straight in line with the nose, the worshipper should sit unmoving, and प्रशान्तात्मा विगतभीर्ब्रह्राचारिव्रते स्थित:। मन: संयम्य मच्चित्तो युक्त आसीत मत्पर:॥14॥ [ “Abiding in continence, fearless, serene at heart, alert and restrained in mind, he should surrender himself firmly to me.” ]
