whose question is it?

   

.

 

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

Is anyone there

if so

are you real

either way are you

one or several

if the latter

are you all at once

or do you

take turns not answering

is your answer

the question itself

surviving the asking

without end

whose question is it

how does it begin

where does it come from

how did it ever

find out about you

over the sound

of itself

with nothing but its own

ignorance to go by

—W. S. Merwin
