"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Spiritual Heart

Sri Ramana Maharshi

A judge from Mysore asked: Upasana and dhyana were said to be due to mental activities. Cessation of activities was also said to be Realisation. Now, how to realise without upasana or dhyana?

M.: They are preliminaries. Such action will lead to the desired inaction.

D.: The Heart is said to be experienced on the right. Physiologically it is on the left.

M.: Spiritual experience is spoken of.

D.: Is it the psychic heart?

M.: Yes.

D.: How to know that it is on the right?


M.: By experience.

D.: Is there any indication to that effect?

M.: Point out to yourself and see.
