The root is solid, unshaken by thoughts and emotions, while the branches sway and flutter with every breeze. Yet they are connected.
Emotions are connected to the heart of your soul. Yet the very heart of your soul remains untouched, unfettered, unshaken.
To what degree are your emotions in infinite harmony with the depth of your being? Yes, that is the question.
The answer lies within the place that remains untouched. Awaken to that. Only then will you have your answer. Yet the answer will even then not be a quantifiable fact. It will be a feeling.
Wisdom is a feeling.
For me, I see within myself and others much distortion around emotions and feelings.
I also have a sense of a difference between those two words, even though we often use them interchangeably. I read your comment and it feels like a very delicate, almost ellusive, place to touch into that wisdom, that harmony.
Yes, thought the word ‘feelings’ can be used in reference to the finest level of life, it is also used for the more superficial levels. Sometimes we say ‘finest feeling level’ to distinguish between the two.
