Some people seem to have these experiences of the Heart-centre, and some do not.

Nisargadatta Maharaj, for

example, when I told him that I was from Ramanasramam, said that the only aspect
of Ramanas teachings that he
couldnt corroborate himself was the Heart-centre on the right side of the chest.
He said that he had never had that
experience. He wasnt saying that it wasnt true; he was just remarking that nothing
like that had ever happened to him.
Lakshmana Swamy and Saradamma both had experiences of the I-thought going back int
o this Heart-centre and
dying on the day of their realisation. As you remarked, Annamalai Swami never ha

did sometimes talk about the moment of
realisation in ways that were distinctly anatomical.

diary entry dated 25th April 1937:
