A bit more on the vantage points of the heart and mind. Semantics get sticky
here because in some traditions, the word "mind" is used to signify
consciousness. I'm using it to refer to the rational, intellectual,
reasoning faculty. To me, spirituality isn't a triumph of heart over mind,
but rather a love affair between the two. I regard it as a sort of lower
level marriage of Shakti and Shiva, where the mind reveres and defers to the
wisdom of the heart, and the heart delights in the antics of the mind. This
to me is a state of wholeness, where the heart and mind complete each other
rather than eclipsing each another.
