The Physiology of Intellect in Ramana Maharshi's enlightenment:

"When the mind, having pure sattva as its characteristic, remain attending to the aham sphurana, which is the sign of the forthcoming direct experience of the Self, the downward-facing Heart becomes upward-facing and remains in the form of That.

This aforesaid attention to the source of the aham sphurana alone is the path. When thus attended to, Self, the reality, alone will remain shining in the centre of the Heart as I-am-I."

from: 'I' and 'I-I' - A Reader's Query (First published in The Mountain Path, 1991, pp. 79-88.

the turning up is a term used about the petals of the lotuses at the chakras.

There is the Amrit-Nadi leading from the Crown-Chakra to the Heart-Cave down ward: after Enlightenment, wich happens in the Crown chakra ... as the Enelightenment settles.

In Sant Mat we meditate under the gently closed eyelids with the eyes turned upward toward the pineal gland this secret tunnel is 1/2 inch above and approximatly 1 inch behind the eyebrows around where the pineal gland is resembles the paintings of saints when they look crosseed and gazing upward is that one; The Kingdom of God. the mind, the attention [surat spiritual intellect] follows the eyes; its a trick.
We focus our attention into the middle of what lies before us, at a distance of around eight to ten inches in front of our forehead not puting any strain or tension on the forehead or eyes. It is not the outer eyes with which we concentrate it is the inner eye that sees in front of us.
Our gaze should be loving, sweet and penetrating looking straight ahead focusing our attention on a tini spot as on the center and it will burst similar to these images, untill the midle of the last opes into the light of million suns = called Enlightenment.

To attain perfect concentration, we have to reach a state where there are no thoughts. when thoughts arise, whether they be good or bad, they are all bad for us as far as meditation is concerned. To help us bring our attention to the eye focus and still the mind the Light and Sound will guide us beyond the physical into and trhough the inner planes safelly





From No Mind I Am The Self.. David Godman

 The experience of the Self chapter 19

  Q:  Some people claim to have had brief experiences of the Self. Is this very common?

Saradamma: Many people make such claims but I doubt if more than a few of them have had a genuine experience of the Self. 

Because most people have never had a direct experience of the Self they think that blissful or peaceful states of mind are glimpses of the Self. The only real experience of the Self occurs when the mind enters the Heart.

  Imagine a cave with a fierce demon in it. If you go in to investigate, one of three things may happen: the demon may kill you, you may escape through the cave entrance, or you may break your head on the cave roof while you are trying to escape and die as a result. Taking the mind into the Heart-cave is a little like this. Either the Self destroys the mind completely, or the mind enjoys the bliss of the Self for a while before escaping to the brain again, or the strain of the experience is too much for the body and death results.

In the last case there will probably be a rebirth in one of the higher worlds.

   Most people who claim to have experienced the Self have not even taken their minds near to the entrance of the Heart-cave.  And even if the mind does go into the Heart, there is still an 'I' which is experiencing the bliss of the Self.

The true experience of the Self only happens when the mind is completely absent, either temporarily as in samadhi, or permanently, as in Self-realization.

Both of these experiences are very rare.

   It is very difficult to make the mind go into the Heart. Mostly it is too afraid of its own death to even approach the entrance.

The mental experiences of peace, bliss and stillness, which devotees claim to experience usually, take place outside the Heart. They are all in the mind. People who think that these experiences are the reality of the Self are only deluding themselves.
