Sadhguru's space:-
There is something called as a pineal gland. various aspects of yoga or sadhana of
yoga is to move it little down – south, it's called, moving it south. This is the
symbolism of Shiva turning south because his third eye moved south. What was up
here (Gestures) came down between the two eyes. The moment it came here,
he saw things that nobody had ever seen. Now, if this happens in a certain way, the
secretions of the pineal, which in yoga is referred to as amrit or amruta or amrutam
in... probably in Sanskrit, this amrutam either can be taken into the system to strengthen
the system and increase or extend the longevity of the system, or this amrita can be taken to
create blissfulness in the system. Like a drug, it can just blow you away. Or you can use
this amrita to enhance your perception, that you can become like thin air because
everything that is here passes through you. Right now, air passes only through your nostrils
and you know if it doesn't pass, you're gone. If this air can pass through... right across you… Some of you might at some moment felt, when you're
very carefree and joyful, you stood in the breeze, it feels like breeze is passing through you. Yen
(Then?) you become hundred percent transparent. That is because you've used your amrita
to bring sensitivity to the system. So these are three fundamental ways. One is
to strengthen the body to make it like a rock, which will give a certain longevity to that
person, which is considered superhuman by most people, or to bring such a level of
drunkenness and blissfulness within you that you don't care how long you live, or to make
yourself like thin air that your perception is super highwa... hyped because there is absolutely
no resistance (Sounds like – in?) the system. The same secretions of the pineal gland can
be used in three different ways. This amrita or this secretion of the pineal gland will
play the right kind of role in the system... When I say right, in my perception, only if it
enhances your perception it is right, because if you do not enhance your perception,
your life doesn't get enhanced in any way. It only gets enhanced in somebody
else's eyes. If you become like a rock, your experience of life may not change, it
is just other people think you are fantastic. Well, we could have made a statue out of you and
you would have been a rock anyway. We didn't need a human being to become like a rock. If you have
a rock for a brain, this will be the problem. You are always thinking which is a bigger rock
than you, which is a smaller rock than you. Your entire life goes into this, as to which is
superior, which is inferior, which is better, which is worse. Endlessly, you will be comparing
yourself because this is the nature of a rock. This is the nature of physical reality. Once
you identify yourself with physical reality, which is better, which is worse is a natural
process of thought. Only if you transcend that, can you be free from this as to
which is better and which is worse.
