“WHY YOUR HEART IS PARAMOUNT IN YOUR LIFE???”
BY:PROF.ASHOK SINHA
When ever we pronounce “HEART” all together a different feeling, immediately sparks in us. Why is heart so different from all our other organs? Since the very inception of mankind heart has played the most vibrant role in our life. Well to understand heart we must know some aspects of our mind. Both are the parts of our body. But mind is based on Logic and closely linked with our body. Both body and mind are interdependent. They both give command and receive orders from each other and act accordingly. On the other hand heart doesn’t listen to any logic. It’s basis is feelings and its medium of operation emotions. In fact emotions have origin in our heart. That’s why a person with no emotions or compressed emotions, is often called a heartless person, in other words a person without feelings. Even such persons are categorized as inhuman. All fine emotions such as compassion,love,friendship,relationship,kindness,sacrifice,truth,non violence, mutual trust etc are tied up with the heart angle. Our relationship is to a great extent depends on this fine tunning of our heart.
We may think, for while, that our body is mortal and heart being the part of our body ,is also mortal.This is true.But what makes our heart so special even being mortal?No doubt it is buried or put to flame once we die but still it is more primodal and important for the human life.Yes! there is a great secret in it. That’s why all our literature, poetries, writings ,teachings,counselling and relationship, chant the song of heart.We say giving heart,taking heart, breaking heart,broken heart,loosing heart,talk to heart,joining heart etc. And there are numerous way of experiencing heart and expressing heart.In fact we can not count the number of human feelings. Similarly we can not count expressions of heart.It is rightly said that once your heart accepts the thing or a person ,it is durable and lasting.
But the most acceptable and lasting feelings of our heart is that Love originate and reside only in our HEART and no where else,There is no better feeling than love. There is no better sought after emotion than love. There is no better span of life than love. You can realize even God through love that is through HEART. There is nothing sweeter than love, that is heart.
Is that all which places heart to such a great height in our life? No not at all. There is the deepest secret lying within us. We are not our body . We are not our mind. We are not even our heart. These are all mortal. Then who we are? What keeps all these three elements together. Which force keeps them alive? Who is responsible for the life within ?
This ultimate force is known as SOUL. It is infused in every inch of our body.Our soul is Sthe primodal force keeping us alive. Once our soul leaves our body we are dead Our heart and mind are no more in exhistence. All its experiences and programings are deleted.It may be worth asking a question that what happens to our karmas? How do we carry forward?We should not forget our SOUL and the importance of our Heart. The greatest secret is that Heart is the only organ which is directly linked and related to our SOUL.That is why heart is the most important organ of our life.Heart listens to our Soul and soul listens to our heart. It is this impact which is carried by our Soul even if our body dies.Since our Soul is linked to the Almighty, or God or Allah or the ultimate energy or the universal force or the invisible controller or what ever attributive name we may prefix.It is here that heart is sacred. Heart is worship.Heart is pious. Heart is so meaningful.Our soul is the captive of our body ,n mind,but friendly with heart.Once we act upon the voice of our heart ,we begin a new adventure, . We get a new lease of life.We start releasing our Soul from the captivity of body and mind. Once our Soul starts coming forth, our entire perception goes a meaningful metamorphosis. A time comes when even our body and mind start listening to our Soul.Thus our very purpose of incarnation moves in the right direction.
In” Bhagwat Gita” and even many passages of the’ Word’ it is said ‘from the heart and from the soul”, or” from the whole heart and from the whole soul”, and by this is signified that it is from all the will and all the understanding(WORD) . That man has two faculties, namely, will and understanding, may be known to every one; also that the will is a separate faculty from the understanding, for we are able to understand good and truth and yet will what is evil and false(GITA). Accordingly from the beginning man was so created that his will and understanding should make a one, so that he should not think one thing and will another, nor will one thing and think another. Such is the state with the celestial, and such it was in the celestial church, which was called Man or Adam.But with the spiritual, or in the spiritual church, one faculty has been separated from the other, that is, the understanding from the will; and the man is reformed by the Lord as to the intellectual part, and in this there is formed a new will and a new understanding The new will which is from the Lord, in this part, is what is called heart, and the new understanding is what is called soul; and when it is said, from all the heart and from all the soul, by this is meant from all the will and from all the understanding.
The spiritual heart is a gateway,a connecting point,the ‘wormhole’ if you will,that brings the spiritual into physical experience.There are many many ways to open the gateway of the spiritual Heart.There are the traditional spiritual practices,such as meditation or prayer,and physical exercises such as QuiGong and Yoga.The gateway to spirit can also be opened through appreciation of music,art and nature.Love relationship with friends,family,pets,and even your planet Earth.,are powerful ways to open and expand the HEART gateway if done properly,and without limiting beliefs about yourself and others.
But the most powerful ways to experience your connection to spirit and learn the truth about yourself, is to simply ask within. Especially when you find yourself challenged by life situations and experiences-that is the best time to focus your awareness on Heart centre and ask it for the truth about you, others,and the physical manifestation of your mind. Once you have personal experience with opening the gateway of the spiritual Heart,and have learned how to listen to the voice of your own Soul or spirit, you will find your experience and understanding of SOUL is greatly enhanced. You will find that the HEART is indeed much, much more than a muscle pumping blood through the physical body.
Truly our HEART deserves its paramount place in our life and its manifestations!!!
