Devotee: How to realise the Heart?
Ramana Maharishi: There is no one who even for a trice fails to experience the Self. For no one admits that he ever stands apart from the Self. He is the Self. The Self is the Heart.
Devotee: It is not clear.
Ramana Maharishi: In deep sleep you exist; awake, you remain. The same Self is in both states. The difference is only in the awareness and the nonawareness of the world. The world rises with the mind and sets with the mind. That which rises and sets is not the Self. The Self is different, giving rise to the mind, sustaining it and resolving it. So the Self is the underlying principle.
