This is the Āgyā chakra, the third eye. When this third eye opens—this is Śiva's third eye, Trinetra—then everything burns. What does it mean that everything burns? It means all negative energy is gone; all darkness of ignorance is gone. You put on the light in your room, and everything is visible, everything is clear. This is the eye of wisdom. It is not that a physical eye will open here in your forehead, but it is the wisdom, the knowledge, the self-mastery. Then you become yourself known as a guru. That is the final fifth guru, and that is thyself. When you realize this chakra—not theoretically—tons of theory are nothing compared with a gram of practice. Many people think we are immortal. I also think we are immortal. You are Brahman. You are not this body, you are not this intellect, you are not this mind, you are not this emotion. Yes, you are Sacchidānanda—immortal, everlasting, blissful, peaceful. Neither weapons can destroy you, fire cannot burn you, death cannot take you away. You are Brahman, and you don't need mantras, you don't need anything. Just think and think of the highest; that supreme is everything. Nothing will happen to you. And he said, "Yes, very good." And now what happens? One or two wild tigers jump into this room. Two wild tigers jump, or one is enough. What will be the condition of this Brahman who is sitting here? He remains sitting there, thinking, "I am immortal; no one can kill me." The tigers will say, "I don't have to run; he is already here." You know, you will try to jump toward that door. You will try to jump. There is an emergency door. It is not so easy, my dear, to say that I am Brahman. Therefore, tons of theory are nothing compared with practice. And that's why, unfortunately, some people develop too much intellect only, and the heart is drying. Recording location: Australia, Sydney, World Peace Tour 2005
