Becoming Successful In Life

To become successful in life, you need to have three factories:

Ice factory in your brain

Sugar factory in your tongue

Love factory in your heart

How can ice factory work if it is to unite with a heart that burns in love of the Absolute :-)

IF u have an ice factory in your brain then it is easy to achieve other both factories.

@ dange rock: I bet its not that way....

Function of brain (hardware) is to gather or perceive information, and mind's (software) function is to organize the perceived data in an organized manner as to evolve or form order - In simplest terms. Moreover, rationality, related to mind, maybe divorced from the emotion as such. Whereas, it is concerned with discerning as a yardstick on the basis of previous knowledge, etc.

Whereas, heart, not that mere piece of meat, also differentiates b/w good and bad, but not in the analytical way mind/brain does. Heart- or, in Quranic terminology qalb- can be suitably termed as intuition. In case of moral issues, it is better known as conscience. And, unlike ordinary form(s) intuition (a form of auto suggestions), heart or qalb gives quick verdicts: whether the action or thing is morally correct or incorrect. Its a judge.

No sane person can divorce or compartmentalize both these 'faculties of knowledge'- yes, they are. To me there is no duality b/w soul and mind or heart or intellect. They are united, diverse they are, be that as it is....
