Should we follow the heart or the mind?
The mind projects into the future, often driven by fear and worry. The heart, however, lives only in the present—it asks simply whether a decision brings ease to a burdened life or offers someone that much-needed breather to keep going.
Recently, I found myself in just such a situation. I went through deep emotional and mental churning—journaling, meditating, seeking blessings at the temple, and relying on my breath to quiet the noise. I even reached out to my cousin brother to ensure I wasn't acting purely out of ungrounded emotion.
His response was a blessing: If you have the capacity to support someone in need—someone capable, yet caught in life’s storms—do it. Consider it a clearing of past karmic debts. Act from the heart, with zero expectation of return or outcome.
I had asked the Supreme for a sign, asking to be guided toward the right deed, to surrender, and to operate with detached awareness: I am the soul, the observer, not the doer.
Then, I heard Krishna's flute. To me, that was all the answer I needed. 🪷
