Is Heart the Seat of the Self? By Dr. Harsh K. Luthar
Dear Harsha,
What is the authority on which Ramana Maharshi says that the Heart is the seat of the Self or that is where the Self is realized.

Is it just not another concept that causes confusion.

Spiritual Heart and Self-Realization: By Dr. Harsh K. Luthar
Dear Harsha:
Arthur Osborne, a close devotee of Bhagavan Ramana said that while doing self-inquiry, he tried to focus on the spiritual Heart-center to the right of the chest. However, I have heard some scholars on Ramana’s teaching say that the Bhagavan did not recommend meditating on a specific location and that Arthur Osborne may have misunderstood the essential method and Bhagavan’s teaching. Is it necessary to meditate on the Spiritual Heart center in order to become Self-Realized? Some well known people like Nisaragadatta Maharaj and Krishnamurthi never mention the Heart in the same way that Bhagavan Ramana does. What is the explanation for this?
Sincere Seekers (composite question)
