I agree with Sensei that it is important to learn the physical moves but it is crucial to learn the proper mental state.
One way to attain the proper mental state is to understand the meaning of every move in the kata by knowing where the attackers are coming from and what technique they are using.
To finally answer sensei’s question.
I look into the eyes of the imaginary opponent that is attacking me.
