There was an elder of Deoband who would not look up while talking to people. Somebody asked as to how he managed life (with this self imposed restriction)? He said that if the person is known to me then there is no problem because I am talking to him with tongue while the hands are busy doing their work. On the other hand if it is an unknown person then there is no benefit in looking at him.
