When and How Shall We Think?
Q. When and how shall we think?
A. The power of rational thought is a great gift.
But, like a tool, it’s best to not use it until we choose it.
Before thinking rationally, if we still the ‘voice in our head’,
we can feel and listen to our Heart – our intuitive mind and soul.
Then we can think first with our Heart, not our head.
As stated in ancient Vedic scriptures:
“There is a light that shines beyond all things on Earth, … beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the light that shines in your Heart.”
~Chandogya Upanishad 3.13.7In our metaphoric Heart shines the Eternal light of Truth –
the light of Love.
Logic has its limits. But Truth and Love are boundless and timeless.
So, it’s best to honor our Heart, over our rational mind –
To use our intuitive mind to serve and follow our Heart.
