Q. Maharaj Ji, if the higher regions are above the eye focus, then why couldn't we concentrate above the eye focus instead of starting here?
A. "Well, brother, when you are sitting midway up a hill, you just can't start your journey from the top, nor would you like to go back down to the bottom in order to climb up to the top . We are all sitting here at the eye center, which is the natural seat of the soul and mind knotted together in the conscious state.
Whenever you are thinking about anything, or you have forgotten something and you wish to recall it, automatically your hand goes to your forehead. You will never put your hand to any other part of your head or your leg. This is a natural habit. When you want to remember something, or think deeply, you automatically concentrate here, because the seat of the soul and mind is here at the eye center.
Hence, we want to start from where we are. Neither do we want to come down to the lower chakras, the lower centers, and start up, nor can we start from higher up. So we have to start from the eye center.
The opening of the third eye means that we start seeing the visions or we have spiritual progress within. When you see the Light, the colors, and moon and all those things inside, there is something which sees all that inside, and that we call the third eye.
The third eye is known as such because we're in the habit of seeing through the eyes, but these physical eyes are not required inside. Some other perception is required, so we call it a third eye, but there's no eye at all which you have to find inside. Christ calls it the door of the house, but then there's no door there either. These are just ways of explaining things. When you enter a house you need a door to go in. Without a door you cannot get in, and without the veil being removed, you cannot see anything inside. That is why it has been called the third eye or the door of the house.
Q. Maharaj Ji, you've written that the door at which we have to knock is the center between and behind the eyes. My question is, if the attention is kept in the darkness, which is seen when the eyes are closed, will that attention at some stage of concentration automatically go behind the eyes?
A. You are automatically there. When you close your eyes you are nowhere else but there behind the eyes in the darkness. Just close your eyes and forget where you're concentrating. You don't have to find that spot at all. Whenever you're thinking, you're automatically there at the eye center. So you close your eyes and you see the darkness, and being there in the darkness, do the Simran. That is the point which is referred to. You're automatically there."
