________________
HEART AND MIND
obstacles that are holding us down on this plane, and we cannot get the knowledge of the supreme Truth. To get this supreme knowledge we must purify our hearts. By the purification of the heart we mean that 'we should rub it off with discrimination. Instead of indulging in desires, some say, you should kill them out. But you cannot kill them out. There are certain cults that teach: "Kill out all the desires and make your mind blank. We cannot do that. It wil be absolutely impossible to do that we can reduce the number of desires by discrimination and not allowing indulgences in that way we can purify our heart or mind. So, the heart means the same thing as the mind, or feeling, or percept, or concept, which we have within us.
