“Both heart and mind have to be involved in this journey toward liberation from the ‘self.’ The mind understands and concludes, connects and discerns, whereas the heart feels.
When our feelings become free of emotional reactions and dwell in love and compassion as their natural abode, our mind will be open to the great truths of universal significance. And the more we refer to these truths, the closer we will get to spiritual emancipation.”
