A manual on the natural care of the eye with exercises to improve eyesight & treat various eye disorders. Also includes letters by Sri Aurobindo on yogic vision
This book, which is a comprehensive manual on the natural care of the eye, starts from the concept that eyesight is intricately connected to the mind and explains how good habits of eye care and mental relaxation can keep the eyes rested and refreshed. It then suggests simple but effective exercises to improve eyesight and treat various eye disorders. There are also chapters on the discoveries of Dr W. H. Bates and the physiology of the eye, as well as case histories, question-and-answer sections, and some letters by Sri Aurobindo on eyesight and yogic vision.
What do you mean by the divine eye or divine vision?
You see so many things in the world. How?
By these external eyes.
And in dream also you see so many things, how?
Don't know.
Through the mental eye. But God's Shakti is hidden in everything, in stone, in plant, in animal, in man; this Shakti is visible through the divine eye. When the divine eye is developed, the consciousness of man is changed.
Where is the seat of the divine eye?
Between the eyebrows.
Can the system of eye education help the development of the divine eye or inner eye?
Eye education means mental relaxation. When the mind is at rest and has relaxation, then it is easy for the higher forces to descend so as to develop the inner eye.
What relaxation exercises will be most helpful?
Some patients have reported that while doing palming and concentration on candle flame they had experiences of the descent of Peace and Light and Joy and Force.
Normal vision means perfect relaxation of the mind and eyes. Do you mean then that every person with the normal eye can develop the divine eye?
If there is a sincere aspiration for the Divine.
What do you mean a change of consciousness which comes by the development of the divine eye?
I answer this question through a dialogue:
