What is 'Jnana drishti' (Divine sight)? Is there a third eye in our body? How is it possible to see a thing sans the use of our eyes?

Sri Sri Swamiji:

We see this external world with our eyes. At night when we are fast asleep our eyes are closed. We then see dreams quite clearly. Our eyes are closed! Are they not? How then do we see the dreams? It is seen through our inner sight ('manak-kann'). It is a mental vision. If this mind is cleansed and becomes divine one can see divine visions and gods through it. This inner sight is known as 'Jnana drishti'.

In the Tamizh language is the usage of the term 'mookkirku mel kopam' - that is, a connection is made between one's quick-temper and the nose! How so?

Sri Sri Swamiji:

The 'chakra' just above the nose and between the two eyes is called the 'Ãjna Chakra'. It is through this point that a person's anger comes out as the destructive power and curse. It is well known that Lord Siva burnt Manmatha (Cupid) through His third eye. This explains the usage of the term linking quick temper with our nose.

Can one be able to secure food if one merely kept speaking of God?

Sri Sri Swamiji:

We do not say so. However, one can swallow the food secured only if there were 'God' within. The swallowed food is digested only if there were 'God' within.
