Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 The Path of the Heart by Sri Chinmoy from beautiful book " The Wings of Joy " ( this seems compatible with Amma's advice to meditate on the heart, etc ) Divine love is the quickest way to realize the Highest. The mind has played its role. Now the world is crying for the wealth of the heart, which is love. If we follow the path of the heart, we will see that deep within the heart the soul abides. True, the light of the soul permeates the whole body, but there is a specific place where the soul resides most of the time, and that is in the heart. The spiritual heart is located in the center of the chest. If we want to establish a free access to our soul, we have to focus our attention, our concentration, on the heart. This is the center of pure love and oneness. You can reach the spiritual heart through concentration and meditation. If you want to do this, every day for a few minutes you should concentrate on the heart and nowhere else. You have to feel that you do not have a head, you do not have legs, you do not have arms; you have only the heart. When you stay in the mind, life can seem like a dry piece of wood. But when you stay in the heart, life can be turned into a sea of pure love and bliss. If you can keep your consciousness in the heart, you will gradually begin to experience a spontaneous feeling of oneness. When you cultivate the spiritual soil of the heart, you will find growing there spontaneous love for God and spontaneous oneness with God's creation.
