The Heart Is The Essence Of Pure Consciousness
This is opposite to what people generally think of as their ‘heart’;
we usually see ‘heart’ as our feelings,
but that is merely a reaction in the same mind as our thoughts.
We know we have a mind.
But what is the we that knows we have a mind?
It is the vital essence of mind,
the innermost heart of pure consciousness.
That is our true reality,
which unifies all sentient beings.
While the mind separates us, the heart unites us.
