The Heart

“In the center of the Heart Cave, Brahman shines alone as “I “ , “ I” , the Self.

Enter the Heart through Self-inquiry, or by sinking and merging in the Heart or by breath control and become rooted as That.”

Ramanna Gita Chapter 2.

Let the mind dissolve in the Self in the Heart.

Stillness of mind, stillness of breath,

sinking into the Heart, merging in the Heart- all happen together.

Being rooted in the Self

Nothing more is needed.

All else is automatically taken care of.

Practice continues until the rooting becomes effortless and permanent, one’s natural state.

 “ Firmly established in the Self, undisturbed by the least ripple of thought, as still as an idol of stone or wood, dissolved completely in Brahman-Self, even as water is in milk, with awareness devoid of all impurities of thought and  drowsiness, standing clear as the pure sky, the grandeur of the Jnani’s nishta ( the Enlightened One’s firm stance in the Self) defies all thoughts and expression.”

Ribhu Gita, Chapter 19, verse 21
