“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” – Albert Einstein

Kabir – The couplet
यह तत वह तत एक है, एक प्राण दुइ गात |
अपने जिय से जानिये, मेरे जिय की बात ||

Transliterated:
Yah tat wah tat ek hai, ek praN dui gaat |
Apane jiy se jaaniye, mere jiy ki baat. ||

Translation:
That being is the same as this, as one soul in two bodies ||
Listen in  your heart, and you will hear my innermost thought ||

My understanding:

Continuing from a previous thread, in our material-driven society today, reason seems to have become our primary driver, pushing aside the honed instinct of millennia. We see this in every aspect of our daily life – our choice of clothes, food, entertainment and even friends. We work to please our external senses, at the expense of our inner peace.

When we turn this around, it simplifies life, eases our tensions, allows more free time and makes life much more peaceful. And that is what life teaches us – whether through the voice of Kabir or Einstein!
