Self-inquiry eyes closed or open?

[Anirban657]

I watched Leo's How to do self-inquiry video. My question regarding that video is do I close my eyes or keep them open. If I keep them open I get distracted. When I close my eyes then it's easier. 

Which one do I do?

Please comment and thank you!

@Anirban657 I get very annoying monkey mind with closed eyes and It's easier for me to keep my gaze focused on a point.

Do whats easier and give you a better result.

Now I'm working with closed eyes because i think it could lead me into deeper emptiness.

@Pouya I find it difficult for both eyes closed and open since my mind is not calm. First I need to calm the mind.

I just close both and keep my back straight and head up

@Anirban657 i always do eyes open i find that if i focus on some object it will literally start zig zagging left and right when I've got awareness locked on awareness.
