Opening the Heart

Aum Sairam

Everything is made of light; everything is alive. The Great Mystery of
life has little to do with intelligence. The universe is not an
intellectual process. The intellect is helpful; but our hearts are the
wiser part of us.

Heart is a word that refers to many different levels of our being.
Essentially, it is the love aspect of soul, capable of making direct,
intuitive contact. Soul love is not emotional; it is highly impersonal
and intelligent, capable of grasping the essence of someone or
something without any projection on our part.

Appreciation significantly turns on the heart. Appreciation is not an
emotion that arises spontaneously, but a soul quality we can choose.
The more often we choose to be appreciative, the easier this choice
becomes and the more frequently our heart opens to give and receive love.

If you open your heart, love opens your mind.
