Try to keep the mind unshakenly fixed on That which sees.

“The phenomena we see, are curious and surprising — 

but the most marvelous of all we do not realize, and that is that one, and only one illimitable force is responsible for:

(a) All the phenomena we see; and 
(b) The act of seeing them.

“Do not fix your attention on all these changing things of life, death and phenomena. Do not think of even the actual act of seeing or perceiving them, but only of that which sees all these things — that which is responsible for it all. 

This will seem nearly impossible at first, but by degrees the result will be felt. It takes years of steady, daily practice, and that is how a Master is made. Give a quarter of an hour a day for this practice.
Try to keep the mind unshakenly fixed on That which sees. It is inside yourself. Do not expect to find that ‘That’ is something definite on which the mind can be fixed easily; it will not be so.

- F.H. HUMPHREYS, the first Western disciple of Bhagavan
