Opening The Third Eye
The concept of the third eye has always interested people. What is the third eye?
Can it be opened during an operation, or by going on a journey to a religious or
sacred destination? In meditation, we understand that the third eye means the ability
to understand and to perceive (realize) correctly. Then, on the basis of that perception
(realization) or insight (understanding); to act and behave accordingly. In other
words, on the basis of spiritual truths, we think, speak and act so that
peace and well-being become natural in our life.
Spiritual values, or truths, are necessary for genuine improvement of the human condition
and life.
The third eye is the intellect of the soul - when it is open, there is realization
of the need to improve, change and/or create something that will help the self and
others to make the quality of life better.

Message for the day 03-01-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who experiences freedom in the mind is the one who can bring benefit to others.
Expression: There is usually the feeling that there is not enough time for
the self. And so there is no time to spare for others too. The more we think about
ourselves only, we don't seem to be able to be free for anyone else. Then we find
our days just pass by without being able to bring any benefit to others or ourselves.
Experience: Instead of taking out time separately for bringing benefit to
others, we only need to see how we can help others wherever we are. We would be
able to do this only when we are free from the weaknesses in our own mind. This
will help us to be available to everyone around. If we are mentally preoccupied
with our own weaknesses we will not be able to free to bring benefit to anyone.
