According to the book 'What the Buddha Taught' by Gordon Fraser
There are two qualities that one should develop equally : Compassion (Karuna) & Wisdom (Panna). Here compassion he include represent love, kindness, charity, tolerence and such noble qualities on the emotion side, or qualities of heart. While wisdom would be represented by intellectual side or qualities of the mind.
He said, "if one develops only the emotional neglecting the intellectual, one may become a good hearted fool; while to develop only the intellectual side and neglecting the emotional may turn into a hard-hearted intellect without feelings for others. Therefore, to be perfect one has to develop both equally. That is the aim of the Buddhist way of Life: in it wisdom and compassion are inseparably linked together"
2009 talks a lot about bring the heart energies out therefore at the same time we will have to face a period of time before the heart and mind starts to sync. Along this time we will notice our mind speaks of one thing while our heart speaks of another. It can happen to us or even the people around us. Don't take that to heart as we are all on this learning curve together.
Patience helps as always. Awareness of self and also of others is required. Most of all always always stay true to your words - be it heart or mind - try to keep them on the same track. Take stock - let go of the old ways that no longer serve you.
Always always always remember - when all things fail -
THE SOUL DOES NOT THINK - NO - IT FEELS!
