The Western world puts extreme emphasis upon the human mind


The Western world puts extreme emphasis upon the human mind without balancing the development of the mind with a similar development of the heart. When the mind is unduly developed, it slays the real purpose of life. It works against itself and creates separatism, antagonism, pollution, crimes, and wars.
But if the heart is developed, it can balance the mind and lead the mind toward actualizing the visions and the revelations of the heart. The heart is in contact with the source of Cosmic principles, and it is the only guidance in our life. The mind at its best is the servant of the heart.
