How Does Opening the Third Eye Lead to Higher Consciousness? | நெற்றிக்கண் திறந்தால் மனித வாழ்க்கை எவ்வாறு மாறும்?

In the 25th Velvi Discourse, Gurumahan reveals that the Third Eye (Ajna Chakra) is the seat of true discrimination, enabling us to distinguish between right and wrong, dharma and adharma, and genuine needs and unnecessary desires.

Returning to "That" means returning to your original, natural state. Right now, you are not in that state because your mind is occupied by the three desires: lust, greed for wealth, and attachment to possessions. As long as these desires dominate you, you cannot attain a higher state of consciousness.
Desire begins when you go beyond what you truly need. A committed married life with one partner is not desire; it is a natural need. Having one home to live in is a necessity, but endlessly accumulating properties becomes attachment to land. Food, water, clothing, shelter, and transportation are all essential, but wanting more than you need becomes greed for possessions. Learn to be content with what you already have.
Desire arises in the mind. Wisdom helps you understand and guide the mind. Yet, most of the time, you cannot clearly distinguish between what is a genuine need and what is merely desire. That is why the space between the eyebrows, the Ajna centre, is the seat of discrimination.
Touch, taste, smell, sound, and sight are the five sensory perceptions. Beyond them lies inner perception, which awakens at the brow centre. The tongue recognizes six tastes. The skin senses heat and cold. The ears perceive different sounds. The eyes distinguish colours. The brow centre, however, enables you to discern what is right and wrong, what is dharma and adharma, and what should or should not be done.
Use your sixth sense, discriminative wisdom. The seventh sense is spiritual wisdom, which blossoms at the crown centre, the Sahasrara.
The body represents the physical state, the mind represents the mental state, the brow centre represents the state of intellect, and the crown represents the spiritual state. Beyond the waking, dream, and deep sleep states lies the fourth state, the state of the soul. Beyond that is the Supreme Consciousness. The purpose of life is for the individual soul to unite with the Supreme Soul.
This is why Chin Mudra is called the Yogic Mudra. You are not the body, the mind, or the intellect, you are the soul. The Divine within creates, sustains, transforms, conceals, and bestows grace. Every power arises from That. It is infinite, boundless, and incomparable. When you realize That within yourself, a profound transformation takes place.
Knowing these truths intellectually is not enough; you must experience them. If a mother asks her hungry child in the morning whether they would like idlis but waits until night to prepare them, those words have no value. In the same way, listening to spiritual teachings alone is not enough, you must experience them directly.
Those who come here do not come merely to learn about spirituality; they come to realize it. Here, the truth is not explained only through words. The Divine power within you is awakened and directly experienced.
