Hear and Mind

Not mind but everything coming out of heart is actually effective. Mind does all the reasoning, heart listens to it but the decision always comes from heart. This suggests that heart has more power and knowledge than mind. It’s good to think and reason but as no body’s knowledge is perfect or complete so it is all right to listen to heart when it comes to making a decision.

Mind has been and still is under the process of evolution. If people had followed mind, they certainly would have followed little truth or no truth at all. In that case the people who were little ‘educated’ would not find the truth at all and that would be a big injustice to them. At the same time only  well ‘educated’ people would find the truth, which we know is not true.

God, by giving everybody a heart and mind has given everyone same chance to find the truth. Since truth is not hidden so everyone can look around at the magnificent universe and easily find the truth by him/herself using mind and heart. Knowledge is not through reason only that is why we find good and bad people among the ‘illiterate’ as well as the well ‘educated’ people of all times.

We do not see many people changing based upon reasoning. But we do see people changing when their hearts change. As our languages, senses, reason and mind are limited therefore the truth cannot be easily reached through these instruments. Since heart is free of all these limitations therefore it has the ability and capacity to grasp the truth in this infinite universe, directly. It is very important that we listen to our heart when we listen to our mind.
