Is Open Eyes Meditation Possible?

You said that sleep means close your eyes, and unaware. Meditation means close your eyes but be aware. Can we do, with regards to this, can we do the meditation with open eye?

Once there was a Master. His name was Abraham. In Abraham’s house there were many people. One day 2 disciples met in his garden. In the garden Ni-shum. Both were a little frustrated, and both of them said I wish we could smoke. They want to smoke, but they’re in restaurant.

Then they talked about for some time, and said why don’t we go, and ask the master can we smoke. They decided to go, and ask him separately. Then next evening one main again sitting in the same spot frustrated. The other man came smoking. Hey you’re smoking. How can you smoke? Master told me not to smoke. What did you ask him? He said, “I asked him can I smoke when I’m meditating?” He said, “No.” How are you smoking? He said, “That’s your problem. I asked him can I meditate when I’m smoking?” He said, “Okay.”

Right now can I meditate with my eyes open. No. With eyes open can I be meditative. Yes. In my meditation can I open my eyes. No. Okay, in fact what we are talking about. You know we mentioned something about sum yeah.

The sumneema meditations are basically to train you to become, to meditate with eyes open, so that 24 hours. No matter what you’re doing you’re constantly meditation. Actively with eyes open. In all the activity that you perform you can become active meditation.

Then it’s a different world by itself. Sumneema meditations are for that purpose. To train you to open eyes, and meditate. Don’t let your eyes open. With eyes closed staying aware you know how many problems you have. You open your eyes where all you would go.
