[Guest guest]

This is a long dissertation by Ramana on the Science of the Heart, 20 verses

in all .I propose

to post just a few verses at a time.Alan

 

Translation by Krishna Bhikshu

 

4.If the Heart be located in'Anahata Chakra'* how does the upward movement of

the life-force in

Yoga begin in Mooladhara ?**

 

 

*Chakra in centre of chest opposite physical heart.

** Chakra at base of spine .

 

It is not clear who asked this question or whether it is rhetorical ?

 

5.The Heart is different from the blood circulating organ.Analysed 'Hrid* plus

Ayam' is Hridayam

which word thus expresses the nature of the Atman

 

Hrid* means that which attracts everything into itself finally.The entire word

therefore means

'that which into all things subside at the end'.

 

6.Its location is on the right side of the chest and not on the left.

 

The Light flows from that Heart to the Sahasrara* through Sushumna**

 

*Chakra at top of head **Main channel along spinal chord..
