Lord Shiva is usually known for His third eye. The eye which emits flames and burns things to ashes. It is believed that when the Lord is extremely angry, He opens His third eye and punishes the culprit. Many people assume that because of His destructive 'third eye', Lord Shiva is known as the destroyer. Shiva's third eye is also sometimes known as the eye of wisdom. The right and left eye represent His activities in the physical world while the third eye symbolises His spiritual wisdom and power. Through His third eye, Lord Shiva is able to see beyond the apparent and destroy all evil.
After the death of Sati, Lord Shiva was deeply grieved by Her death. So, Lord Shiva withdrew Himself to a cave and went into deep meditation. It is the time when Sati is reborn as Parvati and sets out to marry Lord Shiva. But in spite of all the effort of the Gods, Lord Shiva couldn't be brought out of the meditation. Then the Gods sent Kama, the God of love, to bring Lord Shiva out of His penance. As Kama hit Lord Shiva with his arrow, the third eye of the Lord opened and burnt Kama to ashes.
Shiva's third eye thus represents the rejection of desire. It killed Kama, the God of love and desires. Shiva rejects desire because He understands that when the object of desire (Sati) goes away, there is immense sorrow and rage which develops in a being. Hence, to stay away from the desire is the best way to attain bliss. The third eye of Lord Shiva has a great significance and is s source of great knowledge for humankind.!
