It has been scientifically observed that the eyes of a restless person or a mentally depressed person move very quickly and blink frequently. In the desperate urge to drink in more and more stimuli, we become confused and mentally anxious. The eyes of those who meditate blink less. They have a detached look. By gradually controlling the mind through meditation and deep breathing, we are able to gain detachment from the sights that surround us, thereby avoiding sensory overload.
By focusing on the navel center during meditation, we can gain control over our restlessness, and direct our vision inward to the immense beauty within, and we start to understand the profound spiritual truths to be found there.When we do look at the world again, we learn to see beauty everywhere in God's creation, in the people around us, even in the situations that confront us. We learn to appreciate our surroundings without becoming overly attached. Then we can proceed to enjoy the world without becoming enslaved.
