What do I mean by the heart? — by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Post by Welles »

This is just a small excerpted quote from Hazrat Inayat Khan's wisdom (I can't help but think of Hazmat every time I see his name). :bana:
"What do I mean by the heart? Is it the nervous center in the midst of the breast, the small piece of flesh that doctors call the heart? No, the definition of the heart is that it is the depth of the mind, the mind being the surface of the heart. That in us which feels is the heart, that which thinks is the mind. It is the same thing which thinks and feels, but the direction is different: feeling comes from the depth, thought from the surface." — Hazrat Inayat Khan

:) Thanks Welles.

I think of the cartoon super heroes, The turtles, for some crazy reason when I see his name. :roll: He's worth so much more then that, eh?

Eric will love this one. ;)
