Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 D: So, then, in the absence of direct knowledge of the Heart center, I have to depend on this intuition? M: What is wrong with it? When a schoolboy says, " It is I who did the sum correctly, or when he asks you, " Shall I run and get the book for you, " would he point to the head that did the sum correctly, or to the legs that will carry him swiftly to get you the book? No, in both cases, his finger is pointed quite naturally toward the right side of the chest, thus giving innocent expression to the profound truth that the Source of " I " -ness in him is there. It is unerring intuition that makes him refer to himself, to the Heart which is the Self, in that way. The act is quite involuntary and universal, that is to say, it is the same in the case of every individual. What stronger proof than this do you require about the position of the heart center in the physical body?

Maybe the Tibetan Book of the Dead might be a good choice for the next run of quotes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
