the heart is the only reality

    

.

D.: How is the mind to dive into the Heart?

M.: The mind now sees itself diversified as the universe. 

If the diversity is not manifest, it remains in its own essence, that is the Heart. Entering the Heart means remaining without distractions.

The Heart is the only Reality. The mind is only a transient phase. 

To remain as one’s Self is to enter the Heart.


—Ramana Maharshi 

.

Be at peace with your own soul.
Then heaven & earth will be at peace with you.

Enter eagerly into the treasure house that is within you,
And you will see the things that are in heaven, for there is but one single entry to them both. 

The ladder that leads to the Kingdom is hidden within your soul…
Dive into yourself and in your soul and you will discover the stairs by which to ascend.




—Isaac of Nineveh
