Don't believe anything that's not in your experience. Don't also believe that what you know is everything; there could be a lot more to life. The fundamental question is: How to enhance your perception from its present level.
If you want to see more of life, your life energies should function at a higher level of intensity. Without intensity, it is no use making effort, it will be wasted. You will become hallucinatory, imagining that people are saying things. So don't believe the stories. It does not matter who said it. Whether i said it, or Krishna, Rama or Jesus said it, it doesn't matter; do not believe the stories.
When i say intense, most people become intense only when there is danger. Let's say you are driving your car, pushing it to 120, 125 miles per hour. You are going like this real fast, now suddenly something comes in your way. Now those last few moments before the possible crash, you are trying to do something, either break, or try to avoid the object in front of you.
Let's say you did not crash; you are alive, sitting here today. Still, you can never forget those few moments. Somehow they were so intense that if you just think about it, it comes fully alive. Or let's say you are standing at the edge of a tall building, just about to fall. Do you see how intense you become? If the consequence of the fall is taken away, the fall is a damn great thing, isn't it? If the consequence of the car crash is taken away, every day you will want to crash. But since your car breaks up, your body breaks up, you want to avoid it.
Suppose those consequences are taken away, won't you like to experience it all the time? All the adventure sports, what do you think it is? Accidents without consequences... You jump off an airplane, at the last moment you pull the parachute. But you want to experience the fall because it makes you so intense.
So generally, only in moments of danger people know intensity. Now what i am talking about is without doing all those fanciful things like jumping off a mountain or crashing your car or doing something else, just sit here in the peak of your intensity. If you can become that intense, then if you close your eyes even the need to open your eyes does not arise any- more because life is happening at such a tremendous intensity.
People close their eyes and do not open for a long time not because they are not interested in life, simply because they are experiencing life in such a peak way. To do anything else does not occur to them, that's all. People think somebody is meditating means he is hibernating. Hibernation means lowering life. Meditation is about pushing it towards the peak. If you are in such a peak state of intensity, this is the most exciting thing you can do — just sitting.
Shiva sat like this for millennia because of this — it did not occur to him to get up and do something. So if your voltage increases, then naturally you will see everything that is worth seeing. Because he took his voltage up really high, that was how his third eye opened. The 'third eye' does not mean a crack in the forehead; it means that things that others cannot see became available to him. It will become available to you also, if you raise your voltage.By Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
