Upanishads speak of heart in another sense. Upanishads, which refers to hridaya many times, is not the heart as a physical organ or emotional heart, but the heart as the central seat of consciousness, beyond body or mind. This spiritual heart is contacted to the right of the physical heart but transcends all physical and temporal limitations.
