“The mind is to the moon as the heart is to the sun. When the sun has set, the moon reflects the light of the sun and makes it easier to see things in the darkness of night. Likewise, the mind is useful for reflecting the brilliance of the heart.
All day long we forget about the moon… because the sun shines so brightly. That’s the way it is with the mind and the heart. The mind is useful for seeing things…. for not bumping into them. When turned inward, the mind melts into the heart, and both shine more brightly together than they could have if apart.
To see and feel your heart, you need only bow toward it with
your mind. Then, the heart shines splendid and bright.” ~Ramana Maharishi
