The Third Eye? What Is It? What Does It Do?


Recommended Posts

There are many different terms and views for trying to define the 3rd eye, but firstly i think it would be easier for you to tell us what you think it means and we can go from there !!

Trikuti, trivenia, ajni, inner eye, pineal gland..etc.. are just some descriptions used.

I personally believe it is one of the early stages of meditation and once it occurs you move on to a newer level of meditation.

In all honesty I didnt think much of it. To me, I always 'assumed that the 3rd eye was your conscience.

I'm not sure if that makes sense as i'm finding it difficult to explain. :/

So would it be bad to wear a third eye bracelet?

It's funny because you can only understand it once it is open.

Closing your eyes becomes pleasant because you no longer see pitch darkness.

Sometimes when the surroundings of the world get too much, I simply close my eyes for a minute or two and utter 'waheguru' repeatedly from my heart.-all I see and hear is the pleasant colourful vision of waheguru vibrations through the closed eyes, when I open them it feels as if I had just escaped from the crazy rat race around me and come back all revived and full of mental energy. -Plus the reassurance that God is very close within and around me.

One have to be very careful - third eye, trikurti, Dasam dvaar are all reference points but they are not destination lot of people get caught up in resonance panch shabads or light but in fact they are part of subtle element for eg sound is element of air, and light is element of fire.... so it's part of sukhsam elements. Atma paratma bhramgyan is way beyond dasam dvar or third eye.. In fact for giani they are mental concept based on perception, and distractions... only thing which goes all the way to bhramgyan atma paratma da Milap is Teebar Tam Bairaag and tyaag of ego via self inquiry , people can easily can get caught up in experiences in 3rd eye or dasam dvaar which further retains the ego as there is still individuality even acknowledgement of such experience or thought that feels good has sign of individuality. I will end with sakhi of sant isher singh ji, at dasam dvaar all powers came to sant ji with hands folded.. Sant ji rejected them all consider them mithiya as they had teebar bairaag to meet again with their preetam atma paratma.

Hi,

I guess the topic title asks my question.

Seems to me you have been spending some time watching 3HO videos. All this about sitting in a certain position, holding a hand certain way, having fingers in a certain way, breathing techniques, focusing eyes on this point that point........to simply put it is a bunch of rabbit out of a hat. You are wasting your time on things that lead you no where.

Satguru says focus your eyes on Gurbani and see the darshan of Vaheguru. Sitting or standing keep your focus on the Shabad and let the Prakash of Vaheguru come before your eyes with dedication and contemplation.

Please do excuse me if i'm wrong in saying this, but if I were to close my eyes, i'd also see things. Isnt this just a case of you see what you want to see or put your mind to?

I still dont understand the concept of the third eye (Sorry!!) and whether its ok to wear a third eye bracelet :blush2:

What does teebar bairaag mean?

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
