Why Third Eye?

They asked. Are not the two eyes enough? I can only answer as such: if it was, why was the third eye given? There must be a purpose in everything that exists.

There are many things that the two eyes see which are not. There are many things which are, which the two eyes do not see. The truth is when you see, you not only see with your eyes, but you see with the baggage that is in your mind.

Some see the plurality of human groupings, languages, culture and religions as divisive and a problem for unity. Other sees it as a blessing from the Supreme and a matter to be celebrated by the mortals. The diversity enriches and excites their otherwise mundane lives.

The Third Eye will teach you to see what your soul sees. But many fear this.

Most mortals have no sense of their own. They like cows that move in a herd. Like the cow who thinks that only grass is food, and the ranch is the world, most mortals too believe that their space is the world.

Hence in this make belief world that their mind and ignorance has created, they wreck as much mischief as their ignorance and arrogance will allow. To make the mischief palatable, they confer awards, rewards and praises on each other.

In this sense, the journey called life is a painful path because almost every mortal conspires in their selfish quest to make living as miserable an experience as possible for everyone.

The Third Eye sees this and understands that in the ultimate analysis, the illusion of life will not deter him from peaceful coexistence with nature. He will not be cajoled to be part of the conspirators though praise or scorn is heaped upon him.

How can one trust the one that, in futility, tries to deceive the Supreme? Those who attempt to be gods over men when their own death and sickness they have no power to prevent? When as the Book says, they cannot prevent even the fly from taking away their food before their very eyes?

Most see the wealth, family, power and influence that they have as symbols and expressions of their greatness. The Third eyes sees them nothing more and nothing less that what is. And the Third Eye knows that it is but the most formidable of tests of the body that is prone to self aggrandizement.

You may see that which is happening as something new. But the Third Eye sees this but as a cycle – a repetition of old things to new people with the same tests.

But many fear to use the Third Eye for it tells you as it is.
