getting the heart free

With mind under control, your heart can be free.

By taking charge of your brain, and using it as a tool rather than a master, you are then able to be in continuous touch with your heart - able to listen and speak and see with it. The brain (nafs) always wants control. You have to make the effort to take over the use of the brain for the sake of your heart.

Dearest Shaykh,
At a quick read “I” left
and held your words close to me all day
i can say with out a doubt
this is what has brought me
to a wonderful conclusion
of an awesome day
not that some earth-shattering thing happened
only that I was totally available
to any one who was in need
me
as was seen
with out “ME” an out stretched hand was thee,
all the Loving words fill that empty place that smiles bring

love,
s
