Bhavan's teachings #1

[Guest guest]

To his first disciple Gambhiram Seshier, Ramana termed his teaching as

'Intuitive Knowledge of the heart-Dahara Vidya. Experientially it is the feeling

of bliss brimming over in the heart. It takes the form of a ceaseless throb, 'I'

'I', which is expressive of the fullness of consciousness. It is natural and

inherent and therefore accessible to all. It is ever there. Only, awareness of

it is obstructed by the illusory superimposition of a separate mind apart from

this heart. Once the illusion, the false knowledge, is dispelled by the

searchlight of truth, and steadily at that, one is back in one's true home,

one's natural state, in the heart. All search on the spiritual path must end in

this discovery, in this revelation. When this happens the mind is rid of its

limitation caused by identification, by concepts, by thoughts. It will be pure

like ether, reflective of the bliss of the Self.
