在 2005 年冬季《寶瓶時報》的這篇文章中，古魯卡·辛格回憶起 Yogi Bhajan 教 Tratakam 的那一天。 Yogi Bhajan 說：「 我正在走最後一英里。」 「 很快地，我就該拋開我的身體了。」 在加利福尼亞州門多西諾溫暖的夏日陽光下，我們 25 名昆達里尼瑜伽老師坐在他小屋附近的草地上，這是第一次夏至慶祝活動之一。 「 不要因為我要離開你而傷心。 我永遠和你在一起。 你可以隨時和我說話。 你不需要我的身體。 你知道那張照片嗎？ 把那幅畫放在你面前，眼睛對眼睛，然後冥想。 誦讀長篇的 Sat Nam。 Guru Nanak 會和你在一起。 我會和你在一起的。 任何問題都會立即得到解答。 沒問題。 你隨時都可以和我在一起。」
我們都立刻知道他所說的「 那張照片 」是什麼意思。 一張他臉部的簡單黑白照片，他睜開眼睛，直視著群眾。 他向我們解釋說，這是一張非常特別的照片。 當他處於深深的 Turiya 意識狀態時，它從他身上被拿走了。 Turiya 與 Samadhi 三摩地相同，Samadhi 三摩地是與宇宙完全融合的狀態。 在 Turiya，雖然眼睛睜開，大腦覺醒和警覺，但腦電波是深度睡眠的長三角波。 通常情況下，這種腦電波頻率在清醒時永遠不會發生。 這是被稱為 Turiya 的深沉、又深沉的覺醒狀態。 他早些時候告訴我們這張特別的照片。 他說：「 如果你睜著眼睛冥想，請記住你必須對著眼睛冥想。」 他還說，如果你睜著眼睛冥想，然後閉上眼睛，看到眼皮內側的圖片，即使如此，也需要更長的時間，但這仍然是對老師的完美冥想。 「 記住，你要冥想的這位老師的照片不是我。 你可能沒有意識到這一點：這張照片沒有任何價值。 你的奉獻精神就在那裡受到重視。」
**他告訴我們將照片安裝在橙色啞光上，在圖片兩側用低光（如蠟燭火焰）將其與眼睛齊平，然後用固定的、睜開的眼睛盯著圖片的眼睛，讓連線發生。 冥想可以在任何時間進行，透過閉上眼睛，在內部看到額頭處的圖片影像來結束。 這種技術被稱為Tratakam。 Tratakam 的意思是使用穩定的凝視。 Tratakam 是將心靈集中在特定的解剖或心理位置，以喚醒這些焦點中的意識和能量。
Yogi Bhajan 繼續說道：「 並非所有照片都有用。 無論那張特定的照片多麼奇怪 — 有時你不喜歡它 — 這是唯一一張我有效的照片。 所有其他圖片都無能為力。 那是唯一的一個。 我應該怎麼做？ 有些人向我抱怨，「 Yogi Ji，你的其他照片更漂亮。」 但我說，「 我沒辦法。」 「 有時也需要不漂亮的東西。」 自從門多西諾草地的那個陽光明媚的日子以來，我一直把這幅神奇的畫放在祭壇上方的牆上，與眼睛平視。 在冥想中，眼睛對眼睛，所有問題都得到了解決，所有答案都變得清晰。

In this article from a Winter 2005 Aquarian Times, Guruka Singh remembers the day that Yogi Bhajan taught the Tratakam.
“I am walking my last mile,” Yogi Bhajan said. “Soon it will be time for me to leave my physical body behind.”
There are 25 of us Kundalini Yoga teachers sitting on the grass near his cabin in the warm summer sun of Mendocino, California, at one of the very first Summer Solstice celebrations.
“Do not be sad that I am leaving you. I am always with you. You can talk to me at any time. You do not need my physical body. Do you know that picture? Place that picture in front of you, look eyes into eyes, and meditate. Chant the long Sat Nam. Guru Nanak will be with you. I will be with you. Any question will be immediately answered. No problem. You can be with me any time.”
We all knew immediately what he meant by ‘that picture.” A simple black and white photo of his face in which, eyes open, he stared directly at the viewer. He had explained to us that this was a very special photograph. It had been taken of him while he was in a state of deep Turiya consciousness. Turiya is the same as Samadhi, the state of total merger with the Universe.
In Turiya, though the eyes are open and the brain awakened and alert, the brain waves are the long delta waves of deep sleep. Normally this frequency of the brain waves never occurs during waking. This is the deep, deep awakened state called Turiya.
He told us earlier about this particular photograph. He said, “If you meditate with open eyes, remember you have to meditate into the eyes.” He also said that if you meditate with your eyes open and then close them and see the picture on the inside of your eyelids, even then, it will take a longer time, but it will still be a perfect meditation on your teacher.
“Remember, this teacher whose photograph you are going to meditate on is not me. You might not be aware of this thing: the picture does not have any value. It is how much devotion you have that shall be valued right there.”
**He told us to mount the photo on an orange matte and place it at eye level with a low light (like a candle flame) on either side of the picture and then to stare with fixed, open eyes into the eyes of the picture and let the connection take place. The meditation can be performed for any length of time and is ended by closing the eyes and seeing the image of the picture at the brow point, internally. This technique is known as Tratakam.
Tratakam means beaming with a steady gaze. Tratakam is the focusing of the mind on specific anatomical or psychic locations to awaken the awareness and energy within these foci.
Yogi Bhajan continued: “Not all pictures do something. However weird that particular picture is—sometimes you don’t like it—that’s the only picture |of me| that works. All the other pictures can do nothing. That’s the only one. What should I do? Some people complain to me, ‘Yogi Ji, your other pictures are more beautiful.’ But I say, ‘I can’t help it.’ Sometimes non-beautiful things are required too.”
Since that sunny day in the Mendocino meadow, I have always kept this magical picture on the wall at eye level right above my altar. In meditating, eyes into eyes, all questions are resolved and all answers become clear.
