Sadhguru: Shiva has always been referred to as Triambaka because he has
a third eye. The third eye does not mean someone’s forehead cracked and
something came out! It simply means another dimension of perception has opened up. If your perception has to evolve and enhance itself, the
most important thing is that your energy has to evolve and enhance
itself. The whole process of yoga is to evolve and refine your energies
in such a way that your perception is enhanced and the third eye opens.
The third eye is the eye of vision. The two physical eyes are just
sensory organs. They feed the mind with all kinds of nonsense, because
what you see is not the truth. You see this person or that person and
you think something about him, but you are not able to see the Shiva in
him. You see things the way it is necessary for your survival. Another
creature sees it another way, as is necessary for its survival. This is
why we say this world is maya. Maya means it is illusory. We are not
saying that existence is illusory. We are only saying the way you are
perceiving it is illusory. So another eye, an eye of deeper penetration,
has to be opened up. The third eye means your perception has gone
beyond the dualities of life. You are able to see life just the way it
is, not just the way that is necessary for your survival.
