Why: shutting out external contacts, fixing the gaze between the eyebrows, equalizing the incoming and outgoing breath moving through the nostrils, describes a specific concrete meditation technique rather than only abstract philosophy.
In life: sometimes the actual practical technique matters as much as the philosophy behind it, a concrete method gives you something to actually do.
Teaching: if you've only engaged with this teaching intellectually so far, try the concrete practice, controlled breath and steady gaze, described here, rather than staying purely theoretical.
