Move ahead and ascend yourself, counsels Maharshi Mehi Paramhans, holding on to the current in the inner sky, then move further ahead."
We will have to clasp the current of light that is always there, within our own body. Those practitioners who assiduously practise meditation would behold wonderful spectacles within their own house (body). Those who would properly still their sight would be able to reach up to the banks of Sushumna. Any sincere practiser of drishti yoga would surely ascend to this bank of Sushumna, as has been clearly enunciated in this hymn of our Gurudev, Maharshi Mehi Paramhans:
"Very alertly grasp the prime current in the inner sky. And consciously behold the resplendent wonders or plays there (in the inner sky).
Still your gaze, your currents of seeing, at the banks of Sushumna (or the Tenth Door or the Third Eye Centre).
And, yes, waste no time at all & swiftly ascend to this wharf, exhorts Maharshi Mehi Paramhans."
Drishti yoga or bindu dhyan has to be practised with full concentration. The sight has to be fixed in the front, as does an archer while taking aim at his target. By dint of perseverant meditation, the spiritual practitioner of drishti yoga acquires the ability to transcend the gross body and move into the astral world. Gurudev in his experiencepacked words says,
"Bravely practising thus, rise higher into the 'brahmand' (Macro or Higher Cosmos/Universe) leaving the 'pind' (our body or micro-cosmos) behind.
(For this) make your sight focused and penetrate into the Sushumna, just as an arrow pierces its target."
Practice of drishti yoga calls for utmost devotedness and tenacity of purpose. The practisers who assiduously & patiently practise this meditation would realise that fickleness, or unsteadiness of their vision would gradually disappear and their mind would be tranquil. It is thus that they would, with the piercing thrust of their focused gaze, be able to break open the 'til dwar' (or the Third Eye, or the Tenth Door) - which is why Gurudev, Maharshi Mehi Paramhans, says,
"Through regular & rigorous practice of 'drishti yoga' (Meditation on Divine Light within)...
The trembling or shaking of attention or vision would automatically go away as surat (the faculty of attention) would mature slowly (and become absolutely fixed or stilled).
Tila dwar (Tenth Door or the Third Eye) will break open under the piercing thrust of the focused gaze...
So go on gazing at it constantly with all the attention, says Maharshi Mehi Paramhans."
The practiser of drishti yoga has to stop looking outside, and begin to look within. As the sight gets steadied, the grand expanse of light comes in view. This has been exquisitely portrayed by Sant Gulal Sahab:
"Revert within and behold the stunning stretches of light within the body.
All kinds of melodies play there without the aid of any instruments, flowers like lotus and Kachanar (Bauhinia
