Balancing the Head and Heart

from Treasures Along the Path · host Swami Kriyananda

Balancing the head and heart can help the world.Human nature has become unbalanced. Whenever this has happened in history, when people have gone too far in any direction such as the current emphasis on reason and intellectuality vs. considering compassion and kindness of heart, there is always some kind of force coming up to correct it.A sadness can come to a population of people who are under a system that suppresses all initiative. Mankind can’t put up with those things for too long. Sooner or later that population has to come back to its own nature of openness of the heart, kindness and harmony.Whenever man forgets God, man suffers. Whenever man remembers God, everything starts to shine.We are not going to be satisfied with acquiring possessions, thinking that when ‘I get this or that, then I’ll be happy.’ We all eventually awaken to the truth that the only satisfaction comes from within ourselvesWhen we come to the realization that the only thing we really need to change is ‘ourselves,’ we ask, what is it, that resists this change? The change essentially is of the heart, and yet the resistance is also of the heart.To support this work, go to: https://www.ananda.org/support/treasures/
