      The ancient yogis believed that there was an actual center of spiritual
      consciousness, called "the lotus of the heart," situated between the
      abdomen and the throax, which could be revealed in deep meditation.
      They claimed that it had the form of a lotus and that it shone with
      an inner light.  It was said to be "beyond sorrow," since those
      who saw it were filled with an extraordinary sense of peace and joy.
