Intellect is always asking questions. It is as it should be.
It needs to grow, evolve, and mature. But it tends to get arrogant.
“Heart” knows – just knows. If only it is open and humble
and listens without judgement and without avoiding or suppressing, things can
be so much better. It needs to calm and
transform.
Intellect needs to check with the “heart”. The “heart” needs
to know its weakness and listen to the intellect. We need both.
when they are balanced, life runs like a chariot on a smooth
pathway – just as Vedic texts of the east tell us and just as Plato envisioned
in the western tradition.
That does not mean that there will be no ups and downs or happiness
and sadness. They will be there. But they can be handled and managed better
with equanimity.
