Spiritual Heart
“Ours is the path of the heart. I tell my disciples that they have to empty their hearts totally so that Peace, Light and Bliss can descend from above and fill their inner vessel.”
Sri Chinmoy, 1
“You have to feel that there is something called the spiritual heart, which is inside the physical heart. Then you have to feel that inside the spiritual heart there is something called the soul. First open the heart-door. Once you are inside the heart, feel that you are trying to unlock another door. That is the door of the soul.”
Sri Chinmoy, 2
“Within the heart the soul abides. The soul permeates the whole body, but it abides in the heart, just as a man lives in a house, but stays most of the time in one certain room. One can feel the spiritual heart when one is aspiring intensely and one can also see it with the third eye. Every day each aspirant should concentrate on the heart and nowhere else. He has to feel that he does not have a head, he does not have legs, he does not have arms; he has only the heart. An aspirant can reach his spiritual heart through constant concentration and meditation.”
Sri Chinmoy, 3
Question: How can I go deep within? Sri Chinmoy: You have to feel that there is something called the spiritual heart, which is inside the physical heart. Then you have to feel that inside the spiritual heart there is something called the soul. First open the heart-door. Once you are inside the heart, feel that you are trying to unlock another door. That is the door of the soul.
Sri Chinmoy, 4
“The spiritual heart is vaster than the vastest. Right now Infinity is an imaginary concept for us. But when we discover our spiritual heart, Infinity is no longer imagination; it is reality.”
Sri Chinmoy, 5
“You cannot look physically at your spiritual heart, but you can focus all your attention on it. Then gradually, the power of your concentration enters into the heart and takes you completely out of the realm of the mind”
Sri Chinmoy, 6
“The heart has
Many special qualities.
Two are uppermost:
It knows how to care;
It knows how to share.”
Sri Chinmoy, 7
“Your mind has
A flood of questions.
There is but one teacher
Who can answer them.
Who is the teacher?
Your silence-loving heart.”
Sri Chinmoy, 8
“Your mind knows only
How to compile complaints.
Your heart knows only
How to sing oneness-song.”
Sri Chinmoy, 9
“The mind knows
How to dominate.
The heart knows
How to liberate.”
Sri Chinmoy, 10
