Hi,
"One
sage said: One who prays must turn his eyes downward, as Kings I 9:3 says,
'My eyes and My heart will be there forever.' A second said: His eyes
should be upward, as Lamentations 3:41 says, 'We will raise our hearts in
our hands.'
"Rabbi Yishmael son of Rabbi Yosi joined them; he asked, 'What are you discussing?' They said, 'Prayer.' He said, 'My father said: One who prays must turn his eyes downward and his heart upward, to satisfy these two verses.'"
(Talmud, Yevamot 105b)
המצפה לישועה,
Mordechai
