Head & Heart

“Then why do I need my head at all, if the heart knows what is good for me?” the student wanted to know.

“Because your mind helps you understand and this can be very valuable.
The heart is not out to understand, it wants to feel.
If you like, remember the two ends of the seesaw… when feeling and understanding are balanced, harmonious experience happens.” the Master elaborated.

“And how do I create this balance permanently?” asked the student.

The master grinned: “When this balance is permanent, the seesaw stands still. Do you really think you came into this world to experience permanent standstill?”

“I think in the long run I prefer the game between feeling and understanding.” the student smiled contentedly.
