Your heart is like a nose. Your nose can smell an aroma before the bakery is in sight. In the case of the heart, it is the Truth that can be sensed. How often have you let your intellect drown out what your heart was eager to say?

Your intellect operates from the past. It is an adding machine.

But your heart is new-born every day. How simple is your heart!

Your intellect relies on postulations, evidence, comparisons, and makes a guess. Your heart relies on a subtle sense of knowing.

If your heart had not been interfered with, you would know it as the pure innocent it is. But your heart has been interfered with it. Your intellect has shot holes in it, and bewildered and undermined it so it hardly knows itself.

The mind is fallible, but your heart, left to its own devices, is infallible. But have you not trusted your intellect more than your heart? Have you not trusted the seen more than the unseen?

The heart is not blind, unless it has been blind-folded. Remove blinders from your heart.

A heart knowing truth does not despair. Despair and truth are contradictory. Your heart does not mix up truth with fact. Only your intellect may overtake your heart.

Your heart has been made suspect. You think it is your heart that falls in love, and that your heart has let you down or even betrayed you. But somewhere in the back of your mind, your intellect whispered: "This is the one." And you went full steam ahead. It was your mind that fooled you, not your heart. Your mind had an idea, and it did not want to be shaken from it.

Your heart doesn't make decisions. It has nothing to decide. It sees the Truth before it. But the eyes in your heart can be turned off. The intellect blames the innocent heart. Your intellect has convinced you many a time to take its word and then say it was your heart that led you down the garden path. Contrary to what the world may say, your heart is not a pushover. Only, the mind has been deferred to.

The mind has been called sharp, and the heart soft. But truth does not have rough edges, and it doesn't need to be cut. The intellect cuts. The heart receives.

Your intellect tells you that it — your intellect — is wise. Your intellect will believe lies. It is your intellect that chooses addictions and makes your heart the fall guy. Your mind is the gambler. It throws dice and plays odds of which the heart is innocent. The intellect makes you weak while the heart makes you strong. But your mind has controlled your heart. It is your mind you have listened to. The mind, avid for a gain, often belies the truth.

It is your mind that has set up all the standards you believe in. And it is your mind that will not let go of them.

Clear the path to your heart. Trust in your heart more. Your heart is not wayward. Your thoughts are.

The heart is not a logician. It is a knower of Truth.

Clear the smudge from your heart, and truth will be known, and life will be simple. Your life will be simple.
