A spiritual discourse on the inner light and the practice of trāṭaka. "Our soul, our ātmā, comes into our body from the cosmic energies.

"Even the green grass, even any trees, bushes, all creatures—everyone has eyes, and they are all looking with their light toward their destination. Therefore, all our trees also have their eyes, and that is concentration, what we call trāṭaka." The speaker addresses a gathering of practitioners, explaining the journey of the soul and the universal presence of inner sight.
