Samadhi, Heart, and Liberation

[Guest guest]

Sri Ramana once said that many advanced souls get

liberation after reaching higher planes and that a few

rare ones attain mukti (liberation) right here and

now. In such cases the Prana along with mind

(Kundalini Shakti) gets fully absorbed in the

Spiritual Heart.

 

When Sri Ramana's body was dying, people were asking

the Sage to not leave. "Where can I go. I am here."

was the reply of Ramana Maharshi.

 

Where can I go? It means that the "I" having been

absorbed in the Heart has become the Heart It Self and

transcends all time and space. Therefore the question

of (the mind and Prana) coming and going is completely

moot.

 

In Advaita Vedanta, Self-Realization is realizing the

complete identity of Atman (individual soul) and

ParamAtman (Supreme Soul).

 

In relative terms, an analogy may be useful. We can

think of the Atman as circle with a center. When we

enter this center or the Heart, we see that

ParamAtman's center is exactly This as well. However,

the circumference disappears as if it never existed.

 

The Self or the Heart of ParamAtman is the same as

that of Atman. Knowing the Heart, one becomes the

Heart.

 

Sri Krishna states to Arjuna, " I am in the Heart of

all O' Gudakesha...." To know God really means to know

One's Own Heart. Mysteriously, One's Own "Personal"

Heart turns out to be the Universal Impersonal Heart

of the Lord. But there is nothing impersonal about it.

It is all very Personal. That is why Sri Ramana used

to say that God is the First Person. Same Heart. Same

Heart. Your Own Heart. Same Heart.

 

Love to all

Harsha

Namaste Harsha,

 

Yes that is my take, Muktas are unusual and like hens teeth. However

many souls do go to the Brahmaloka and get moksha at

mahapralaya........ONS..Tony.
