Sri Ramana Maharshi
See how a tree, whose branches are cut, grows again. So long as the life-source is not affected it will grow. Similarly the samskaras sink into the heart in death; they do not perish. They will in right time sprout forth from the heart. That is how jivas are reborn.
Just as a big banyan tree sprouts from a tiny seed, so the wide universe with names and forms sprouts forth from the heart.
Q. If the origin is 'sat' why is it not felt?
The salt in the lump is visible; it is invisible in solution. Still its existence is known by taste. Similarly sat, though not recognized by the intellect, can still be realized in a different way, i.e., transcendentally.
Q. How?
Just as a man blindfolded and left by robbers in a jungle enquires his way home and returns there, so also the ignorant one (blinded by ignorance) enquires of those not so blinded and seeks his own source and returns to it.
