Haven't been here in a while but this site is still part of my heart. I just would like to share some info that may or may not be useful for some of us.

Yeah..there seems to be, or is, a lot of confusion about all this "Heart" talk. Ramana had many different uses for this word depending on the nature and the temperament of the questioner.

In a small town somewhere in Eastern Europe lived a nice man with a nasty problem: he talked too much about other people. He could not help himself.

Ramana Maharshi: You speak of a vision of Siva. Vision is always of an object. That implies the existence of a subject. The value of the vision is the same as that of the seer.

Questioner: I attended one of the group meditation sessions, held recently in Bombay, and witnessed the frenzy and self-abandon of the participants. Why do people go for such things?

Maharaj: The urge to find oneself is a sign that you are getting ready. The impulse always comes from within.

M: The old self is your own self. The state which sprouts suddenly and without cause, carries no stain of self; you may call it ‘god’.

M: The difficulty lies in our differing points of view. You speak from the body-mind’s. Mine is of the witness. The difference is basic.

M: You cannot possibly say that you are what you think yourself to be!
