Having been encouraged by Vishalakshi Ramani in my thread "Hanuman Chalisa in Tamil', I give below my composition in English. Hope it gives a food for thought for everyone.
HEART AND BRAIN
Heart has feelings
Brain has thoughts
Heart has emotions
Brain makes evaluations
Heart cries
Brain shouts
Heart listens to what is good
Brain listens to what is useful
Heart retains memories
Brain retains results
Heart remembers what affects
Brain remembers effects
Heart feels happy
Brain feels proud
Heart’s acts are instant
Brain’s acts are momentary
Heart doubts
Brain suspects
Heart yearns for fulfillment
Brain aims for completion
Heart has wishes
Brain has desires
Heart travels straight
Brain takes crossroads
Heart fails to understand brain
Brain refuses to understand heart
Heart is moved by remarks
Brain goes by rewards
Let us listen to heart
Before we do what the brain tells
Let us have good heart
To make meaningful brain.
Loka samasta sukhino bavantu.
