Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 10 · Verse 33
Gaze on space, wall, or a face
Choose open space, a blank wall, or a person you deeply respect, and let your attention rest there, gradually and steadily. When the eyes tire, rest them, then begin again. When looking is this simple, thought has less to add. Absorption comes from the looking itself, not from the object you chose.

In just this way, wherever attention comes to rest, on empty space, on a wall, or on a worthy person, it dissolves there of itself and bestows the highest gift.
