“Loosely translated, it means, ‘As for the being who keeps the sun
in the heart, all evil vanishes for life.’ That is, when you remember the
Atman, the Buddha, the place in your heart, the being, the inner guru, the light
that comes from your own heart, then you no longer live with that which takes
people from God, because all you see is God and that which brings you to it.
When you do this mantra sometimes, you sit in front of the sun, and you let the
sun come into your heart until the warmth in your heart becomes like a thousand
suns and the light pours out from you.”
– Ram Dass
