paapiman Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Paaji, how will the above help a person attain Dib Darishtee, through which demi-Gods, Shaheed Singhs, etc, can be seen? Can you please explain? Bhul chuk maaf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please explain? Bhul chuk maaf Haha this is on a smaller level veerji. This is not going to help people see Gods and Shaheeds. But if they can already see them then I reckon they should be able to stop the circles from spinning. Also not all Divya Drishti is the same. Someone might be enlightened ie has divya drishti and still may not be able to see any spiritual forms. Different people operate differently, according to what God has made for them. So what this can do, is give people an idea of how to work towards a beginner level of Divya Drishti. To develop a different way of seeing, that is more holistic, non-dual, oneness, advait type of seeing, which is also Divya Drishti. And I am not even sure it will do that, this is an experiment out of curiosity to find out if this has the potential. Let's wait and see what people make of it. You give it a try as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragmaala Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 If you focus in the middle dark spot, circles will stop moving. If your eyes wander around circles will start moving again. However some circles in peripheral vision won't stop moving unless you are so lost in one spot that you forget about them. Good concentration exercise. Good one Bhagat. i feel any concentration exercise that leads to focus will develop the senses more . It's all about paying attention. We all have the shakti inside us. Only difference is that our shakti is dissipated through various means. If one can focus this shakti many things can be achieved. But it is very difficult and and full of boredom task. remember monks who would spend their entire lives sitting on in front of a wall just staring at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragmaala Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 But if one plans to develop did drishti through focus exercises one should focus on the padam of Guru Nanak. This will have manifold benefits of improving focus, concentration, love, devotion and maybe even Darshan . So if one does plan to start these focusing exercises, use a picture of your ishta. :) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragmaala Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Here's another one. Close your eyes in dark. You will see there is a tiny needle point white dot floating around. Try to catch it . Have fun with it. It will move up and down and eventually disappear and come back again. I think everyone can see this one. Or rub your hands together and press against both eyes...you will see some nice visuals and follow them. another exercise: think of a color in your mind and see if you can reproduce it in your closed eyes. Another one is focusing on a flame and then focusing on the after image with closed eyes. These exercises will fire up your visual cortex for sure, making it more perceptive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragmaala Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 But if one does not have time on their hands to go through such exercises, they simply can recite Naam & Gurbani with love & devotion. Everyone is unique, go with whatever works for you. Some people are adventurous & like to explore, whereas others are just content with simple things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your eyes wander around circles will start moving again. However some circles in peripheral vision won't stop moving unless you are so lost in one spot that you forget about them. Good concentration exercise. You want to have all circles be in your vision, and try to have them as clear as possible as well. If working with one circle helps then start with that but ultimately you want to include all of them in you field of vision. There will be a shift in perception from moving circles -> still circles. This shift in perception is non-dual awareness. See if you hold all circles in your primary field of vision and make them all still. See if you can pick out different patterns from within the picture, while holding the circles still. E.g. like picking out all dots, picking out all circles, picking out all squiggly lines, etc. PS this is not a "concentration exercise", but if you need to do that to achieve still circles then do that by all means. You can also do other meditation and then come back to the illusion and try to penetrate the illusion with your gaze. PSS This is not intended as a replacement to any meditation you are already doing. It is to study whether meditative states can penetrate visual optical illusions. And to simply play around with the illusions as it appears in your mind's eye, in your consciousness. PSSS A more appropriate term is puzzle. This is a puzzle you can solve through meditation. See if you can solve it. Again, play around with it, and then take it further from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BhagatSingh Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 This Meditation Puzzle(TM) #2 might be a bit harder to solve. Normal perception causes the lines to flow around the void, causing circular movement. See if you can alter your perception to see the image for what it is - completely still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an invitation to join the thread. but yea you have my approval now :D That's the idea though - to see it as a whole. Like what I said to Ragmaala- "See if you hold all circles in your primary field of vision and make them all still." - you said you got this part down so do the next bit. "See if you can pick out different patterns from within the picture, while holding the circles still. E.g. like picking out all dots, picking out all circles, picking out all squiggly lines, etc." While maintaining a holistic perception, pick up groups of similar parts and identify them as distinctly as possible, in your field of awareness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
