When you reach the core that comes after allowing everything to drop, you are naturally cracked open. There is a spiritual heart in that core.

You also experience the radiant heart fullness and realize that the emptiness isn’t just a bland emptiness – it is heart-full. When the emptiness awakens, you know that it is also the compassionate heart. The warmth of your own spiritual heart comes alive. – Adyashanti
