Meditation, in its final essence, means the activation of the Inner Senses. The third-eye symbolizes the totality of the Inner Senses.
Breath is the great gate-way for the third eye activation. Third Eye is synonymous with the Essence of Soul.
You go within yourselves, activate your Third Eye, then only you will understand a Gautama Buddha or a Jesus Christ.
When we are with the breath-energy, the mind becomes rather empty. Then, there is a tremendous in-flow of cosmic energy into the physical body. Gradually, the hitherto dormant third-eye begins to become activated. And, by and by, cosmic consciousness gets to be experienced.
