Talk 4

15th May, 1935
Talk 4.

Maharshi was asked by an educated young man: "How do you say that the Heart is on the right, whereas the biologists have found it to be on the left?" The man asked for authority.

Maharshi: Quite so. The physical organ is on the left; that is not denied. But the Heart of which I speak is non-physical and is only on the right side. It is my experience, no authority is required by me. Still you can find confirmation in a Malayalam[1] Ayurvedic book and in Sita Upanishad; and he produced the quotation (mantra ^[?]) from the latter and repeated the text (sloka ^[?]) from the former.
