Question:
Is contact between spiritual leaders of the East and West possible ? Is India the spiritual world centre ?


Maharshi:

Spirit is unlimited and formless , and so is the spiritual centre. There is only one such centre. Whether in the West or the East , the centre cannot be different. It has no locality. Being unlimited , it includes leaders , world , forces of destruction and construction. You speak of contact because you are thinking  of embodied beings as leaders. Spiritual people are not bodies; they are not aware of their bodies . They are spirit: limitless and formless . There is always unity among them. These  questions cannot arise if Self is realized.

from CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY
Ramana Maharshi
The Lord is enshrined in the hearts of ll.
The Lord is the supreme Reality.
Rejoice in him through renunciation.
Covet nothing. All belongs to the Lord.

Thus working may you live a hundred years.
Thus alone will you work in real freedom.

Those who deny the Self are born again
Blind to the Self , enveloped in darkness,
Utterly devoid of love for the Lord.
