Raja Yoga: Unifying the Mind and Heart
The words for mind and heart are the same in many cultures. In the West, however, mind and heart are considered distinct, separate, and too often the intellect is valued more. As human beings, we are at our most powerful when we come from the union of these two aspects of Self: wisdom and compassion; knowledge and love. Beyond our intellect is the power of love that yokes us to universal consciousness.
