Beyond the Gaze. . . Words of ๐๐๐ข ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ค๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐ฉ๐๐๐ in his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita
There are many passages of the Gita in which it is stated that the fixing of the eyes at the tip of the nose or inwards and upwards or between the eyebrows characterises the methods of those who seek supreme bliss. In his commentary, Bhagavatpada says that It does not mean that by projecting his gaze to the end or putting his gaze in the middle of the eyebrows a person attains liberation. It means that you add the words 'as it were,' the idea that these physical acts exemplify and symbolize the withdrawal of the mind from external objects that the process will attain.
In other words, it is not the nose or the eyebrows that matter so much as the effect of the concentration of the physical gaze on the abstraction of thoughts and their deflection from outer concerns so as to result in inner stability and peace.
