'Reason/logic/mind' performs functions such as criticizing/analyzing-synthesizing, separating, separating, aggregating.
'Heart/heart' means 'appreciating, honoring, seeing everything as one and in integrity.' is interested in 'pleasure'. The mind criticizes, the heart appreciates and honors.
The mind divides and fragments. The heart unites and integrates.
The mind requires an outward 'effort/effort'. The heart stops at an 'internal' expectation, an intuition, a birth.
While the job of the mind is like seeing and perceiving a shadow reflected in the water, the job of the heart is like enjoying the reflection in the water.
Since today's people are 'people of pure reason/rational reason', the best they know is 'criticize', 'divide', 'separate'.
Heart-centered people, on the other hand, appreciate everything, like everything, almost accepting it.
The mind lacks appreciation, the heart lacks understanding.
They call the border separating the fields from each other 'añ'. Etymologically, 'to understand' goes back to the meaning of 'separation or fence'. For this reason, a heart in which the mind is not an active servant cannot enjoy the truth by 'understanding' it and separating it.
It is deprived of the pleasure and perception of the 'content, details and parts' of the Whole, which it appreciates and honors.
It has rejected the heart and expelled it from its 'world'. A mind, on the other hand, is shattered and shattered into pieces by the best thing it does (separating, disintegrating, criticizing). Appreciation is deprived of honor.
As people of today, where Enlightenment is reduced to the Rational mind and 'intellectual' minds dominate, we do not and cannot appreciate it. We just walk around with a judge inside us (actually in our heads). As a person who judges and criticizes everything and who does not like anything 'sincerely'. We cannot appreciate or like even our closest people easily. A constant criticism! Because we are now subject to a critical/analytical mind.
Our rational mind is running around every corner. We run and run; Without stopping and resting, without getting CLOSE and establishing a bond.
When you don't stop, we can't get into your heart. The skill of the mind is to separate, divide, cluster; The skill of the heart is to unite (tevhid-wahdet-birleme), to integrate.
The result of living subject to the Rational Mind (egoic mind) was honored with appreciation. Instead of a life spent alone, living a rational mind condemned to 'loneliness-separation'..
'One must have a heart that thinks.
