“When we’ve lost connection with our heart, is there anything more important than stopping, feeling the suffering intimately, with mercy and tenderness?” – RamDev
This week on Healing at the Edge, RamDev speaks about:
- Why it is so hard to open the heart
- The Buddhist Heart Sutra and the nature of the heart as empty
- The quality of non-self and vast openness
- The theoretical versus the practical
- How resting in the heart frees us from the abyss
- The way that emotions like fear and anger keep our heart closed
- Using mantra to drill into the heart
- Devotion and compassion as the key parts of an open heart
- Everything as a display of pure consciousness
- Receiving the grace that is always there
“The heart is basically as radiant and vast and open as the sky itself. It’s always thus. But, to be resting there, means resting in this openness. Resting in the empty nature of things, including the nature of the sense of self.” – RamDev
