Brilliant insights.

Enjoyed your take on these two aspects of character that so often seem at odds but can, as you illustrate, perform wonders when paired together.

There is a section in The Prophet that says a similar thing
passion and reason need one another.

I like the image you use, I seem to see it a lot like with the grandma babysitting the grandchild for the first time and neither understand the other - but hopefully get together before the movie is done.

Sannhetseeker,
Rationality is cold and lifeless without passion, and passion is blind without rationality.  The fusion of the two, imho, is a spiritual bonding, and adding the spiritual makes the full triad of mind, heart, and spirit.  Good post.

This was a powerful post, sannhet. You eloquently showed how the marriage of the heart and mind produces synergy that is beyond this world.
