DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

BALANCE BETWEEN THE HEAD & THE HEART

29 June, 1928

 The next day, the Master spent a long time explaining certain points to Dastur.

It is best if there is a balance between the head and the heart, but to combine them and keep them balanced is almost impossible. Even in small, petty matters, the intellect rules the heart and spoils its mood. There is nothing better than if your duty is performed according to my wish, and with a balance between the head and the heart. Try and I will help you.

Even as a little salt spoils an entire pail of fresh milk, so also the virtues of a man are nullified by a streak of pride in his character.
