Mind Vs Heart

Sometimes it happens that we are in a perplexed state as to which one to follow the heart or the brain. I am also not able to make up as which is the best option. In some cases it happens that following the call of mind is best because you tend to make logical decision and you don’t take it in your heart if there are negative results. But in some other cases you feel that you don’t think about the results; you feel like doing it and you go ahead and do it.

I feel that in cases relating to your personal life per say your inner feelings it is better if you go for the call of your heart. This you give you sometimes happiness and sometimes dejection but at least you will have no regrets. But in case of some materialistic needs it’s wise to go for what your mind says. Suppose you love somebody then just go ahead and tell. He/she may accept your proposal or reject it or sometimes will not say anything. But atleast you will be relaxed that you have said what you feel. In this case you can follow the mind also. You can make relations taking the future aspects, talk what needs to tb told etc but here you will not feel mental satisfaction as you will not be doing what you want to do.

In other case if you have Rs 100 to spend on something you may either spend it or save it. If you have a strong desire to spend it just go ahead and spend it. Don’t think what you will have in the future. Enjoy that moment. Otherwise you may think of the future and save then save until you find that the time to spend has passed away and there is no thing left to spend upon. If you spent then also you may have less money in the future, but atleast you have enjoyed that particular moment.

If God has sent you here, He has a purpose. You are playing a role here. Till you finish your role all the resources will be provided by Him. You don’t need to think about it. There is a saying in Bengali which goes like this-“Whoever has sent you on this earth will provide you with food and security”. One way or the other you will get all that you want. You need not worry on these aspects. JUST GO AND DO WHAT YOU WANT. But in all this cases do remember not to heart others feelings.
