It is easy to be happy - let your heart meet your mind

Nature has created man with intelligence; certainly he is far more intelligent than any other life form in the universe.  Since the nature has empowered man with highest level of intelligence, it did not give great physical strength or special anatomical features to man to combat and win great battles in nature.  Perhaps, nature would have thought that intelligence is far superior over mere physical strength. But unfortunately, the ingenuity of the man has made him to feel more weak than strong. 

The intelligence, man has used only to know, understand and compare him with others in nature to substantiate how weak he is.  If we were to believe that there exist two important power centers in man such as ‘mind’ and ‘heart’, it interesting to know what mind and heart are searching for or how they functions.  Wherever man goes, his mind follow him and help him to search and ensure what he/she has is safe and secured.  Mind always operate like a security guard or a police man.

Interestingly, the heart on the other hand always searches things that man does not have with him.  Always heart list out things that are available in nature in abundance but unfortunately man does not have.

The list of heart may go like tranquility and peace, nature has but man does not have, beauty and abundance nature has but man has only contradictions and confusions in abundance, happiness and joy the nature has but only sorrowful thoughts and melancholy man has, richness and vibrancy nature has but only poverty and insecurity dominate in mans life……. etc. 

The mind on the other side constantly compel the man to safe guard his property and wealth, his position and respect, his family and clan etc.  Sadly, man is pulled by his two very powerful horses which are apparently doing the same job of pulling him forward.  Both are searching and ensuring something.  Mind search what man has in the physical sense and ensure that he has not lost them while the heart search what man does not have in the emotional sense and ensures the fact that he does not have them. 

Man often gets frustrated only due to the jigsaw created by the mind and the heart.   Each of the horses pushes the man to two different directions and that is why man is always directionless.  Despite having all the richness, man still feels poor at heart because his/her heart never sees what she/he has.  The mind also never communicates to the heart and vice versa.

Man in most instances behaves like a tonga horse cart rider and when he beats the both or either of the one horse, the consequences are easy to imagine.  If he beat or kicks the heart, it pushes him into to the bottomless pit of grief and if he beats the mind, then he become more materialistic hunter always goes after money and pleasure.   

How to deal the paradoxical situation?  Should he control the mind or heart the most?  The only thing man has to do is to create a unity between heart and the mind.  Learn to make them communicate with each other.  Learn the art of reversing the responsibility of both. 

When mind start searching what man does not have and heart start listing what are the wonderful things man has, the joy and harmony would flow out of him.  Oh! man before you be proud of your communication skills, learn to communicate within and facilitate your heart and mind to communicate with each other.
