眼睛明亮
Master Swatmarama was born in India around 1500 CE. The prevailing medical system at this time was Ayurveda (the Science of Life). In this system, there is a relationship between the elements that make up the physical world, the subtle energies behind these elements , and their specific connection to the physical senses. So for instance, there is a connection between sight and the element of fire.
公元1500年左右，斯瓦特瑪拉瑪大師出生於印度。那個時期盛行的醫學系統是“阿育吠陀”（生命科學），這個系統探尋的是組成物質世界的元素、元素背後的精微能量以及它們與身體感官間的關係。例如視覺和火元素之間是有關聯的.
This connection is seen in a yogic practice called trataka or “steady gazing” and is one of the six purification practices we will study in this chapter of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.
在名為“trataka（單點凝視）”的瑜伽練習中就可以看到這種關聯，它也是我們將在《哈他瑜伽之光》的這一章中學到的六個身體清潔練習之一。
In this practice, one concentrates vividly on an object, commonly a candle flame. This practice has several benefits. For one, it controls the movement of the eyes and thereby makes them stronger. The eyes generally are in constant motion, so to keep them focused requires not just strength of mind, but physical strength as well.
這個練習需要清晰地專注於一個對象，通常是蠟燭的火苗。它有幾個好處，其一是控制了眼睛的運動，從而使得眼睛更明亮。眼睛一般都是在持續的運動中，因此讓眼睛聚焦於一點不僅需要來自意識的力量，也需要身體的力量。
Secondly, the practice of trataka will eventually cause the eyes to tear. These tears help flush out many toxins, harmful bacteria, and stress hormones while releasing oxytocin and endorphins (hormones which help diminish both physical and emotional pain).
其二，單點凝視練習最後會讓眼睛流淚。這些眼淚能幫助沖洗掉很多毒素、有害菌和釋放催產素和內啡肽（幫助減少身體和情感疼痛的激素）時所產生的壓力激素。
In this way, we can begin to understand Master Swatmarama’s assertion that through the practices of hatha yoga, the eyes become strong.
這樣我們就理解了斯瓦特瑪拉瑪大師所說的，練習哈他瑜伽能使得眼睛明亮。
