Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

" The 'Heart' is not physical. Meditation should not

be on the right or the left. Meditation should be

on the Self. Everyone knows, 'I am.'

Who is the 'I?'

It will be neither within nor without, neither on

the right or the left.

'I am' -- that is all.

The Heart is the center from which everything

springs. Because you see the world, the body

and so on, it is said there is a center for these,

which is called the Heart.

When you are in the Heart, the Heart is known

to be neither the center nor the circumference.

There is nothing else.

Whose center could it be? "
