Transcript

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.
