Chapter 6 verse 13
“Let him firmly hold his body, head, and neck erect and
still, gazing at the tip of the nose, without looking around”
Further in the position recommended for artful and
peaceful meditation, Lord asks that the meditator keeps the body, head and neck
erect and straight as an arrow and maintain stillness of the body. While
maintaining this stillness, one should let the eyes focus on an object such as
the tip of the nose without taking their gaze from this object just to focus
the mind and eliminate all thoughts. Zen meditation asks one to focus on an
object or gaze on the wall. Zen came much later. Krishna has taken pains to
describe in detail meditative techniques and posture and this signifies how
important body, mind and intellect control is to reach eternal bliss and
realize the higher Self.
