The Term Hridaya (Sanskrit for Heart)

We have all known each other since the beginning of time. That is why at some level we recognize each other.
Is it any wonder that this feeling overcomes that there is no choice but to love.
Within our human limitations and flaws, and despite them, the luster from the diamond of the Heart pours forth as all embracing consciousness. My teacher used to say that when two candle flames are joined, it is hard to tell which flame belongs to which candle, as it is the same fire. Love is the eternal flame.
I was remembering my teacher Chitrabhanuji yesterday and the time I spent with him in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. After a while, we were just friends. What would we do without teachers?
Ramana Maharshi once said that the Guru is unreal. The Heart manifests as the outer Guru. The outer Guru points to ones’ own Heart and instructs to look within.
It is only Love playing.
Love to all
Harsha
