The Wisdom Times
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade.
It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
[Rabindranath Tagore]
TWIST Comment: Mind is an essential evil in our lives. The way we use it dictates how we live. Mind can help solve problems for us - the utilitarian view of the mind. But mind is not everything. The West has delved too much into the mind, logic, science etc., there is a skewed development in the modern world. What the eastern philosophies teach us is a wholesome development not just of the mind, but to harness all the vital aspects that life has to offer. The boundaries of a life lived in such a way is endless, whereas a mindful living has it's own boundaries within the sphere of knowledge as known to man today. There is an imminent choice here for us to make, of course, the mind can be a good tool to choose!
