Shiva’s third eye is located on his forehead and most of the time remains closed. However, when Shiva opens his third eye, it destroys everything that it sees. Shiva’s third eye represents destroying your blind desires and taking the path of wisdom. The question that now arises is, of all the things, why did our forefathers use the third eye on the forehead as an icon for depicting this. For this we will have to jump a little bit into understanding the physiology of the human brain. It is a well known phenomenon in psychology that we have two levels in our brain. The lower animal-brain which runs on autopilot and the higher human-brain through which we make intelligent decisions. In his book, “thinking fast and slow”, which I highly recommend all of my audience to read, Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman describes the difference between these two brains. He calls these two brains, system 1 and system 2. When we do things on autopilot based on our instincts, we use system 1 or lower brain, while when we put an effort into a mental task, we use system 2 or higher brain.It is this higher brain, which separates us from animals. Animals just follow their animal instincts and live their life within the limits of nature, while as humans we can overcome our instincts and act on our will. It is this capacity of humans due to which we are not limited by nature. When you blindly pursue a desire based on your instincts, you use your lower brain. When you pursue them consciously, after overcoming your instincts and carefully judging the pros and cons, you are using your higher brain. In other words by using your higher brain, you open the third eye of Shiva in you. Through functional MRI, scientists have figured out where this higher brain is located. Can you guess where it is located? Right behind our forehead where Shiva’s third eye is located. Our forefathers did not have a functional MRI, but they did know where our seat of wisdom is located and that is exactly where they placed the third eye. Shiva’s third eye signifies the destruction of the world of Maya. It is an eye of wisdom, which provides us the faculty to distinguish what is right and what is wrong.
