In creation, it seems only human beings are bestowed with a moral compass. Scientific research reveals that the prefrontal cortex of the brain that is just above the eyes is where the moral compass is located. It is the area where discrimination between good and bad takes place.
Dr.R.K.Mishra, emeritus professor at AIIMS, observes that the third eye spoken of by yogis, passes through exactly the same spot. US Researchers discovered that the stimulus from infrasound of BETA rhythms which are between 13 and 22 cycles per second are confined to the frontal area of the brain where complex mental processes take place. Excess stimulation with these frequencies produces recklessness, euphoria and complete loss of mental balance.
The third eye is called ‘vahni’. It is also called ‘gnananetra’. The devotee of Lord Siva applies sacred ash in triple horizontal stripes called ‘tripundraka’ on his forehead to protect it from damage.
If prefrontal cortex of an individual is damaged, then he becomes unable to learn from his past experiences of reward and punishment. “This removes the emotional core of social and moral reasoning, preventing his emotional memories from shaping he Mind’s conscience” ('Strange Frontiers' by George V.Harding).
….
Let us hope that further research in the field may reveal more useful insights.
