Translation
Withdrawing the consciousness from all the limbs of that body, one should then concentrate it on one limb. One should not concentrate on all the limbs. One should meditate only on the wonderfully smiling face of the Lord. Withdrawing the consciousness which is spread in all the limbs, one should concentrate on one limb—the face.
